All Music Guide to Country: The Experts' Guide to the Best Country Recordings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been listening to country music for more than four decades, plus recently brushing up on music history while researching Faron Young's life.This book contains much good information, but I wonder how the writers define "country."In spite of all their hits, the Wilburn Brothers rate a two-inch column and David Houston gets three inches.Yet many, many performers I've never heard of(and non-country ones I have heard of) get a page or more.How often has Grateful Dead ever been played on a country station?Faron Young--a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame--is allotted one page, but Neil Young gets six.How many times did he appear on the country charts?None that I recall.Even the historical Carter Family is limited to two pages.There would have been room to give more information about more performers if the book had fulfilled the promise of its title.
