Description

American country music is a rich blend of musical traditions, including the balladry and dance tunes of the British Isles, African American blues and gospel music, minstrel shows and Tin Pan Alley commercial tunes, the music of German and Hispanic immigrant groups, and ballads of coal miners and cowboys. This book spans country music from early commercial recordings (like 1923's "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane" by Fiddlin' John Carson) through Nashville's "Grand Ole Opry," Western swing and honky tonk, Elvis Presley and rock and roll in the 1950s, and the pop-oriented Nashville Sound that came after. This subject in the American Popular Music series of references provides hundreds of entries on key personalities, recordings, performances, instruments, and musical styles, presented with scores of black and white photos, a glossary, recommended recordings, and a chronology.
