Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
A lively tour of the state's music, from the days of string bands through hillbilly, western swing, gospel, bluegrass, and honkey-tonk to through the Nashville Sound and beyond.
Through personal interviews with many of the living legends of Kentucky music, Charles K.
Wolfe illuminates a fascinating and important area of American culture.
The list of country music stars who hail from Kentucky is a long and glittering one.
Red Foley, Bill Monroe, Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, the Judds, Dwight Yaokum, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, John Michael Montgomery, and Keith Whitely -- all these and many others have called Kentucky home.
Kentucky Country is the story of these stars and dozens more.
It is also the story of many Kentucky musicians whose contributions have been little known or appreciated, and of those collectors, promoters, and entrepreneurs who have worked behind the scenes to bring Kentucky music to national attention.
