| Summary: | From its roots in the southern Appalachian mountains, what we know today as country grew from a distinctive mix of folk, blues, bluegrass and more to become one of the defining genres of American music. Country has evolved over multiple generations of artists, but the importance of storytelling has remained at its heart for some 100 years. This book celebrates the work of some of the genre's greatest storytellers, whose songs have stood the test of time and whose influence can be felt to this day. Discover the stories of the many kings and queens of country, from innovators like Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams to chart-topping legends like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. Alongside these icons, we also salute the modern country artists - such as Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs and Kacey Musgraves - whose fresh takes are opening up the genre to a whole new audience of fans around the world. |
