In this collection of biographical essays, New Yorker (and New Yorker writer) Dawidoff strikes out for the heartland of his heroes, those singers and songwriters who refined country music into the wittiest popular song form since Tin Pan Alley's heyday and the most expressive since the death of the Delta blues. His profiles sketch many of the greatest living country stars (among them Kitty Wells, Harlan Howard, Doc Watson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash) and predecessors Jimmy Rodgers, the Carter Family and Ira Louvin. Dawidoff brings to his interviews a balance of reverence and skepticism, but he's at his best as a critic of the music... 372 page hardback with dust jacket, 1997...
