Description: The years from about 1950 to 1970 were the golden age of twang. This book pushes past the iconic voices and images to get at what classic country music truly means to us today. It tells the story of rural America in the twentieth century, but the obsessions of classic country were obsessions of America as a whole: drinking and cheating, class and the yearning for home, God and death.
