Country: The Twisted Roots Of Rock 'n' Roll

<div>Celebrating the dark origins of our most American music, <I>Country</I> reveals a wild shadowland of history that encompasses blackface minstrels and yodeling cowboys; honky-tonk hell and rockabilly heaven; medieval myth and musical miscegenation; sex, drugs, murder; and rays of fierce illumination on Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others, famous and forgotten, whose demonology is America's own. Profusely and superbly illustrated, <I>Country</I> stands as one of the most brilliant explorations of American musical culture ever written.</Div></div>
