The story behind the story of American country music goes back to
Appalachian roots and the people who sang for local audiences and
early radios in the early 20th century. No matter what you call the
songs now--country, folk, traditional, old-time, hillbilly, and
bluegrass--it is the music of a special breed of talented people
who were part of one of the most interesting musical and
entertainment stories in America's history. In their own words and
those of family members, these tales relate the hard work, luck,
and do-it-yourself independence of the pioneers of this music. Some
became household names while others were important but remained
almost totally unknown to the general public. Here you meet the
Carter family, Jack Jackson, Bob Douglas, Grandpa Jones, Bashful
Brother Oswald, Mac Wiseman, Earl Scruggs, Raymond Fairchild, and
other greats of the field. Their touching personal stories and 190
photographs showing the artists with their instruments, families,
and audiences, bring this musical heritage to life for modern
listeners.
