COUNTRY MUSIC ORIGINALS - THE LEGENDS AND THE LOST by Tony Russell
Roots music authority Tony Russell offers vivid portraits of the men and women who created country music, the artists whose lives and songs formed the rich tradition from which so many have drawn their inspiration. Includes major figures Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, and Gene Autry; and many fascinating lesser-known figures such as Carson Robison, Otto Gray, Chris Bouchillon, and Emry Arthur. 110 profiles in all, many of whose stories are told here for the first time. Russell draws upon new research and source material--contemporary newspaper reports and magazine articles, internet genealogy sites, and his own interviews. The result is a lively mix of colorful tales and anecdotes and priceless accounts of performances. Includes more than 200 illustrations, some never before published, including photographs, record labels, song sheets, newspaper clippings, cartoons, advertisements, and magazine covers. Hardcover. 258 pp.
