5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth buying for the photos
I love the photos in this book. Large black and white photos of early bands in the south. Clear picutes of early insturments and band members and their clothing. There was one photo I've seen before--the one of the Cajun couple--but most of the others were fresh photos that I had not seen.

I found more than a few innacuracies regarding the instruments and dates. The text is frankly uninspiring. If you are an amatuer ethnomusicoligist as I am, it is one to keep on the shelf for reference that is true, but as a definitive work it is sorely lacking. I also found it to be surprisingly short. Given the breadth and depth of the subject, the paucity of the text and photos is alarming. So, for me it was OK but not really a top shelf choice.
