In the Country of Country by Nicholas DawidoffCall Number: 781.6420973 D269i
"In the Country of Country" is a passionate and expansive account of a quintessentially American art form and the performers that made country music what it is today. It pays tribute to the music that sprang from places like Maces Springs, Virginia, home of the Carter Family, and Bakersfield, California, where Buck Owens held sway. Author Dawidoff takes readers to the back roads and country hollows that were home to Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, Emmylou Harris, and many more.
