From the earliest days of country to the latest artists, the Encyclopedia tells the story of a great American genre in words and pictures. Chapters trace the history chronologically, from early hillbilly (Roy Acuff, The Carter Family), "singing cowboys" (Gene Autry, Roy Rogers), bluegrass (Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers), honky-tonk (Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb), rockabilly (Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis), and Nashville (Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline), to country rock (the Byrds, the Eagles), outlaws (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard), mainstream country and pop crossovers (Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton), and the neo-traditionalists (Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris), as well as more recent "alternative country" (Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch), and the bluegrass revival (Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck). Hardcover. 320 pp.
