San Antonio Rose: THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF BOB WILLS (Music in American Life)
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $21.84

Customer Review:

Biographies of entertainers are usually pretty shallow, just part of the marketing effort. This one is a little unusual because it was written by a scholar who put a lot of effort into making it both as complete and interesting as possible. The author, Dr. Charles Townsend, also became, to a small... more info

Long Steel Rail: The Railroad in American Folksong (2d ed.) (Music in American Life)
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $26.98

Customer Review:

I volunteered to present a program on railroad songs for our local Railpark Museum. In looking for information about the songs, I discovered Norm Cohen's book "Long Steel Rail." This is a valuable, scholarly, well-researched book about railroad songs. Cohen has included many versions of the same... more info

Bluegrass: A HISTORY 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (Music in American Life)
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

If you want to learn about the history of bluegrass all the way from Bill Monroe to Cherryholmes and Cadillac Sky, then Rosenberg is NOT the book for you. Although this "revised" edition was published in 2005, it is essentially the same book originally published in 1985, and even that narrative... more info

Recorded Music in American Life: The Phonograph and Popular Memory, 1890-1945
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.33

Customer Review:

This is a very disappointing book, in part because the promise of the topic is so great. We really lack a full history of early American recorded sound. We have some excellent monographs, but a comprehensive history would combine the histories of (1) the development of the technology of the... more info

American Opera (Music in American Life)
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $21.10

Customer Review:

If you want to know about how opera developed in the United States - this is the book.
If you want to know about American operas and their composers (even the early obscure ones)- this is the book.
Very thorough, well-researched, and not a bad read either.
Kirk has really given us... more info
