Jimmy Yeary Explores ‘The Connection Key’ In New Book Due In January

November 12, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Jimmy Yeary

Songwriter Jimmy Yeary is releasing a new book, The Connection Key, about how storytelling and vulnerability can create trust, influence and opportunity, on Jan. 19 via Forefront Books.

Yeary, a hit songwriter who penned CMA and ACM Song of the Year “I Drive Your Truck” and has also written hits for Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, George Strait and many more, blends unforgettable personal stories with real-world insight in the new book, which reveals why connection—not perfection—is the foundation of lasting success.

For Yeary, things in his life hit a turning point through setbacks, struggles and the life experiences that shaped him. Those experiences have translated to how he connects with audiences on the stage as well as the speaking circuit. The Connection Key is uniquely positioned to provide readers with exercises to grow in ways they never knew offering a creative useful approach to get to know yourself and connect on a deeper level with others.
