THE HAYLOFT GANG: THE STORY OF THE NATIONAL BARN DANCE
ed. by Chad Berry
-
The Barn Dance was the nation's most popular country music radio show during the 1930s and 1940s, defining country and western entertainment until it was supplanted by the Grand Ole Opry and rock 'n' roll in the 1950s. Drawing on the colorful commentary of performers and former listeners, these essays trace the history of the program, explore the paradox of country music in a major urban center, investigate notions of authenticity, and much more. 52 photos. 256 pp.
