Synopsis

Legendary Johnny Rodriguez’s memoir, Johnny Rodriguez Desperado: A Piece of My Soul, weaves the true stories behind his music, success, and struggles into a compelling autobiographical sketch. Award-winning singer-songwriter, guitarist, Taekwondo black belt, actor, and author lays bare his soul-sustaining truths and lessons. During his five-decade music career, Rodriguez has released 35 albums and charted 45 singles, solidifying his status as a renowned Country Music Superstar.

He was the First Mexican American Country Music Star, dubbed the Latin King of Country Music, with a distinct voice, youthful sex appeal, great songs, and a magnetic stage presence. Johnny skyrocketed into a world of success and excess, which was played out before a world of adoring fans. Drawing musical inspiration from celebrity friends like Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Lefty Frizzell, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton, Rodriguez deeply valued both their personal bonds and their artistic influence.

Johnny shares the heartfelt stories of his visit to George Strait's ranch, his invitation to visit Elvis Presley at Graceland, his intimate but short-lived marriage to Willie Nelson's daughter, Lana Nelson, and the magical reunion between him and longtime friend Tanya Tucker; and his newfound friend, actor Dennis Quaid, in a Bakersfield, California studio.

Managing it all resulted in building bridges, burning bridges, and mending those same bridges. Behind the scenes, things were not what they seemed. His book, Johnny Rodriguez Desperado: A Piece of My Soul, reveals Johnny’s true story for the first time.

In his lifetime, Johnny triumphed over tremendous tragedies and embraced hope over hopelessness—yet he was the NEVER-GIVE-UP artist and one of the most beloved singers in country music history. The anticipation is building for his upcoming bilingual album, "Johnny Rodriguez Building Bridges," and a Beyond the Interview Box Set. Special Guests performing duets include two-time Grammy Winner, CMA Hall of Fame Inductee, singer-songwriter Tanya Tucker; actor and singer-songwriter Dennis Quaid; Mariachi singer Daisy Sanchez (Mariachi San Marcos); and daughter, singer-songwriter Aubry Rodriguez.

What is the mystical and personal story of cultural icon Johnny Rodriguez? And what slight edge did he have that helped him reach the top? Discover the life and times of the legend, the man, and his music.
