Book (Item 611573) Duke University Press, 1998 — Condition: New Copy

A great overview on themes in Country Music – with essays on a variety of topics, penned by musical scholars from a number of different fields! The approach is academic, and really gets past obvious historical tropes, to dig deeper into the complexities that have always made us love country. Writers include David Sanjek, Charmaine Lanham, Mark Fenster, Christopher Metress, Mary Bufwack, Charles Wolfe, Don Cusic, and others – and topics include "The Money In Country Music", "Evangelical Performance In Country Music", "Gender, Class, & Region In The Star Image Of Dolly Parton", "The Bluegrass Industry", "The Gothic & Country Music", "Visions & Revisions Of Hank Williams In Country Music", and "Johnny Cash As Lesbian Icon". 408 pages, softcover, with some black and white images.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
