Catherine Powers

Texas Country Music Hall of Famer Freddy and wife Catherine Powers were married for over 25 years, with Catherine managing Freddy's career as a prolific performer and songwriter, where he is most celebrated for co-writing numerous # 1 hits for Merle Haggard, notably including such fan fav's as "Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room Tonight," "I Always Get Lucky With You," "Natural High," and "A Place to Fall Apart" among countless others. In the pages of his memoirs, written by his wife Catherine, THE SPREE OF '83, Freddy recounts first-hand the highly-entertaining and emotionally-touching story behind his decades-long roller-coaster ride through the music business, to the top of the charts, and his inspiring struggle in recent years battling Parkinson's disease, all while his legacy endured through generations of fans. Helping Freddy tell his story are exclusive interviews from fellow country music legends Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, John Rich, Tanya Tucker, The Voice finalist/Powers' protege Mary Sarah, and hosts of other Nashville luminaries.
