About this title

About the Author:

Immersed in country music since his birth, BILL C. MALONE has been both a scholar and a performer of the music for several decades. Now retired from Tulane University, he lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he hosts a weekly radio show, "Back to the Country."

Review:

"Described as “the Bible for country music history and scholarship” on its original publication, it is quite simply the cornerstone--and a highly readable one at that--of any shelf devoted to the country’s Southern/Western rural class music and should be in any library of America’s music heritage." (Texas Books in Review)
