Publisher's Synopsis
In the third volume of this country music series, readers can explore topics ranging from the career of country music icon Conway Twitty to the recent phenomenal success of the bluegrass flavoured soundtrack to the film ""O Brother, Where Art Thou?"" Also covered are: the tricky relationship between conservative politics and country music in the 1960s; the promotion of early country music artists with picture postcards; the history of ""the voice of the Blue Ridge Mountains"" (North Carolina radio station WPAQ); and the formation of the Country Music Association as a ""chamber of commerce"" for country music to battle its negative hillbilly stereotype.
