Country music legend Kenny Rogers is celebrating the upcoming release of his in-depth autobiography, Luck or Something Like It, by sharing an exclusive excerpt from the book and giving fans an opportunity to win tickets, meet-and-greet passes to an upcoming concert and a copy of Luck or Something Like It.

Highlighting Kenny’s first encounter and recording experience with Dottie West, the excerpt is available exclusively to Kenny’s Facebook fans and presents just a taste of what readers can expect from the full-length work being released Oct. 2.

To show his appreciation for the unending support his fans have shown throughout his career, Kenny is offering a chance to win two concert tickets, two meet and greet passes, and a copy of his autobiography to whomever shares this exclusive excerpt the most.

“Writing this book has been such a rewarding experience,” Kenny said. “I found I really enjoyed reliving some of the things that have shaped my life over the years, and I cannot say thank you enough to the people who have supported me throughout not just the process of writing this book but my entire career.  I’m excited to share a special preview with those who have taken this journey with me.”

Contest participants can visit Kenny’s Facebook page from now until Oct. 1 to enter. Entrants will be given a unique URL to share the book excerpt with their own social networks. The participant whose URL receives the most unique views will win two tickets to see Kenny in concert, along with two meet and greet passes and a copy of Luck or Something Like It.

Kenny Rogers is a multiple Grammy-winner who has sold more than 120 million records over his illustrious career. Kenny recounts his life story in Luck or Something Like It, a rollicking ride through fifty years of music history, which offers a heartwarming testament to a time when country music wasn't just a brand but a way of life. The book will be released Oct. 2 from William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
