Book Reviews of How Nashville Became Music City, U.S.A.: 50 Years of Music Row
Book Review: The very best book ever on this topic
Summary: 5 Stars
Jonathan Colcord gave Michael Kosser's wonderful book one star simply because there was nothing in it about bluegrass. That's like giving The Da Vinci Code one star because there's nothing in it about Southern Baptists. The commercial country music that comes from Nashville is not really the same genre as bluegrass. Bluegrass is recorded everywhere, and though Bill Monroe did indeed record in Nashville, bluegrass is usually self-contained, and Monore's recordings did not involve session musicians but his own band, and the songs were his own or traditional, they did not involve the Nashville songwriting or publishing community. Any good engineer will tell you that bluegrass is recorded differently from mainstream country. Bluegrass is great and has even worked its way instrumentally into much of today's Nashville music, but traditionally it has never been associated very much with Music Row. Mr. Colcord says that songwriters should stick to writing songs instead of writing history, but ironically, Michael Kosser has probably written as much history as he has songs.
