"Fifty years after its first publication, Country Music USA still
stands as the most authoritative history of this uniquely American
art form. Here are the stories of the people who made country music
into such an integral part of our nation's culture. We feel lucky
to have had Bill Malone as an indispensable guide in making our PBS
documentary; you should, too." -Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan,
Country Music: An American Family Story From reviews of previous
editions: "Considered the definitive history of American country
music." -Los Angeles Times "If anyone knows more about the subject
than [Malone] does, God help them." -Larry McMurtry, from In a
Narrow Grave "With Country Music USA, Bill Malone wrote the Bible
for country music history and scholarship. This groundbreaking
work, now updated, is the definitive chronicle of the sweeping
drama of the country music experience." -Chet Flippo, former
editorial director, CMT: Country Music Television and CMT.com
"Country Music USA is the definitive history of country music and
of the artists who shaped its fascinating worlds." -William Ferris,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, former chairman of the
National Endowment for the Humanities and coeditor of the
Encyclopedia of Southern Culture Since its first publication in
1968, Bill C. Malone's Country Music USA has won universal acclaim
as the definitive history of American country music. Starting with
the music's folk roots in the rural South, it traces country music
from the early days of radio into the twenty-first century. In this
fiftieth-anniversary edition, Malone, the featured historian in Ken
Burns's 2019 documentary on country music, has revised every
chapter to offer new information and fresh insights. Coauthor
Tracey Laird tracks developments in country music in the new
millennium, exploring the relationship between the current music
scene and the traditions from which it emerged.
