Nashville, Austin, Spartanburg? After reading this book, that sentence might not look so strange. It is truly amazing how many great musicians this small city has produced. The writing is lively and informed. The chapter on Walter Hyatt is worth the price of the book alone.

Long Overdue look, June 26, 2001
This review is from: Hub City Music Makers: One Southern Town's Popular Music Legacy (Paperback)
Okay, I'm a bit prejudiced since I was born in Spartanburg, SC myself, but this book does shed light on a small city that produced a lot of great music. The in-depth look on Pink Anderson, the bluesman Pink Floyd and Johnny Cash have cited as an influence, was well handled along twith the story of his son Alvin (who I know quite well). So put on your B-B- b-lack slacks and enjoy this look at an overlooked center of jazz, gospel, rock, and r&b music.
