DESCRIPTION:
"Stars of Country Music" is a collection of original essays on many of country music's most important performers, from early greats such as Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family to more contemporary stars such as Johhny Cash, Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard. Here the nation's leading authorities offer full and colourful portraits of the lives, careers and music of 19 of the best country singers and musicians. Together they weave an animated narrative, a history of country music.
Don't let 'em cut the rug, Mamma When this book was published in 1975, the editors claimed it was the first time that academics had taken country music seriously. Country musicians and their listeners didn't care, I'm sure. They were country when country wasn't cool, and country music has always gotten along fine without professors, poohbahs and government grants.Still, the book was produced by enthusiasts, some of them in the trade, and remains valuable, both as a history, as pro.
