Description: "Since its first publication in 1968, Bill C. Malone's Country Music, U.S.A. has won universal acclaim as the definitive history of American country music. Starting with the music's folk roots in the rural South, it traces country music from the early days of radio to the beginning of the twenty-first century.

This second revised edition includes an extensive new chapter that continues the story from 1985 to 2002, along with an annotated listing of books and recordings which came out during that time."--BOOK JACKET.
