Country Music: An Illustrated History
by Dayton Duncan Author and Ken Burns Author
Yee-haw! If you like pickup trucks and guns and the patriarchy, then you surely love country music. And if you happen to be a literate country music fan, well, first of all congratulations and secondly, you might really love this book. Country Music: An Illustrated History commences at the birthplace of country music the American South, where traditional melodies transformed with the advent of radio in the 1920s, marking a significant turning point as these songs transcended small towns, resonating with audiences across the entire nation. Country music evolved into a diverse tapestry of sounds and styles, encompassing honky-tonk, gospel, bluegrass, and rockabilly, among others. This narrative paints a vivid picture of country music's remarkable transformation, from its humble and intimate beginnings to its current status as a widespread musical genre.
