Book Reviews of Country Music, U.S.A.
Book Review: All the hype is true - so it's not hype
Summary: 5 Stars
Bill Malone's major work is everything one thinks it could be - an historical treatise on the history of country music from pre-country to fairly modern-day country. Really recent singers in the past eight years or so won't be found here - but that's not why this book is a staple for the country music lover. It's not the kind of reading that invites a start-at-page-one-and-read-to-the-end attempt; rather it's an invitation to be choosy about a time period in country. Malone's views are broad and encompassing and even critical of others' writings about country music. One's favorite is probably in his work although Malone does not write in equal proportion to each performer or time period.
