COUNTRY MUSIC: An Illustrated History

A companion to the PBS Ken Burns documentary, this stunning volume shows how the birth of radio in the 1920s brought this music to an entire nation. Playing everywhere from barn dances to Hollywood cowboy films to postwar juke joints, "hillbilly music" evolved into a diverse range of sounds and styles--from honky tonk to Western Swing, bluegrass to rockabilly, constantly shifting and expanding. Photos, many in color.
