Book Reviews of American Roots Music (Based on the PBS Television Series)
Book Review: Extraordinary Collection Of Essays and Photos
Summary: 5 Stars
This outstanding book includes well written and informative essays on American roots music forms ranging from blues to country and folk to gospel. I especially enjoyed the chapters on musical styles, such as Cajun and tejana, that I was less familiar with.
The book will serve as a great introduction to those seeking to learn more about American music. But even those already well informed will enjoy the great archival photos that feature artists such as Jimmie Rodgers, Charley Patton and Mahalia Jackson. The hardcover edition makes a great coffee table book, though the inspired writing and photos make this much more than just a decorative piece. Highly recommended for all lovers of American traditional music.
