Discovering Country Music chronicles the incredible evolution of
country music in America -- from the fiddle to the pop charts --
and provides an insightful account of the reasons and motives that
have determined its various transformations and offshoots over the
years. In order to understand what country music is today, and why,
it is essential to understand how it makes its money -- the basic
revenue streams, the major companies involved, and how country
artists such as Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Faith
Hill, Toby Keith, and Rascal Flatts are booked and marketed. In
Discovering Country Music author Don Cusic helps readers do that,
and goes even further, covering not only the business and the
technology that have shaped the industry, but also tackling the
question of country's relationship to the other major genres of the
American recording industry, including pop, blues, and rock music.
Discovering Country Music is broken down into ten sections which
include: key musical trends; ancillary business trends such as
recording technology, radio, and the recording industry; and
prominent artists, including as a small sample Stephen Foster, The
Carter Family, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson,
Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Kenny
Chesney. This work should appeal to fans, scholars, educators,
libraries and the general reader alike.
