Rural Roots of Bluegrass: Songs, Stories & History

The Carter Family, The Monroe Brothers, Stringbean, Bradley Kincaid, Riley Puckett and many others are here again in this very special book! According to author Wayne Erbsen, writing a book like this one is like standing in front of an audience playing a solo fiddle piece. This book tells much about the roots of bluegrass music -- American mountain music. It also profiles the music, songs, and words to many of the bluegrass standards of yesteryear and today. If you want an enjoyable book about the pioneers of bluegrass, and a dose of pointers on pickin' and fiddlin' the way the masters did; then this book is certainly for you.
