Reviews
Malone's book provides a veritable treasure trove of information regarding the musicians, musical styles, and distribution networks (primarily the radio and phonograph recordings) of country music. . . Malone presents his readers with discrete insights into the particular musical acts that gave rise to and perpetuated the country music tradition in all of its internal contradictions, negotiations, and accommodations., An important book. . . the first to tell the genre's complete story, beginning with its folk, religious and early commercial origins -- the ballads of the British Isles, the tent revivals, the 19th-century minstrel shows and the 1927 recording session in Bristol, Tennessee, that saw both Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family make their first recordings., [Country Music USA] was, and remains, a staggering work of scholarship that became a cornerstone of American music history-- anyone writing seriously about country must reckon with it., Country Music USA has been an authoritative and detailed history lesson and reference manual for country music, paralleled in quality and scope by few other works. It's country music's biography, starting with country's very beginnings in primitive folk, and ranging all the way to the present day., If you've long been passionate about music, especially early country music's acoustic forms, Malone's books are a validation of your passion. They are also a retro road map of how the musicians and tunes that moved our souls arrived in our lives.
