EDDY ARNOLD: PIONEER OF THE NASHVILLE SOUND by Michael Streissguth: Traces Arnold's origins from a cotton farm to his legendary status. His success as a top-selling artist in the 1940s and 1950s temorarily waned as his listeners gravitated toward the rock & roll sound, embodied by newcomer Elvis Presley. Arnold kept recording, however, and by the mid-60s he reemerged as a pop crooner with his hit "Make The World Go Away," His blend of country sentiments and pop stylings created the template for Nashville's modern country music sound. Produces a vivid picture of country music's early decades: the many small-town radio stations and deejays that supported the music, the backroads tours, the struggling music labels. 54 photos, discography & sessionography. 302 pp.
