Mr. Malone, whose long and distinguished career has secured him a place as the world's foremost country music historian, has once again hit one straight out of the park. Rich with both remarkable detail and cogent analysis, the book is a tresure for anyone who cares about country/bluegrass, roots music, or the general American experience. Truly an outstanding work.

The author of this book was very detailed and thorough in his research. Country music as a genre has grown tremendously since its beginning and personally I'm not sure it's all for the best. This is country music as it's meant to be, where it all started, with the working class (i.e., those that didn't have much if anything, and who were raised on the Bible) from the South. I enjoyed it immensely!

Great Book and Amazon delivered every thing that they promised. Would use them again any thing they sold some thing I wanted. Thanks.
