Country Music Humorists and Comedians (Music in American Life)
“If Cratis Williams is the father of Appalachian Studies and Helen Lewis its mother, than I reckon Loyal Jones would have to be considered the midwife of it all. . . . This book reflects not only his disarming sense of humor, but also his meticulous attention to voluminous details, his considerable scholarship, and his substantial wisdom.”--Appalachian Heritage"Southern humor, rural comedy and its practitioners are brilliantly showcased."--The Nashville Musician  "A treasure trove of information. . . . Will make a wonderful reference book for years to come."--Bluegrass Unlimited
