This book, first published in 1968, is still widely respected as the pioneering and most comprehensive study of the history of country music from its pre-commercial folk roots through the development of the modern country music industry.
Before the Grand Ole Opry, and before Nashville had become the center of the country music industry, country music developed in Tennessee "from sources as diverse as rural ballads and fiddle music, church music of the country singing conventions, and the black music of the Southwestern delta area." Wolfe explores all of these sources.
The chapters are roughly divided into three sections: "Origins," "The Golden Age of Hillbilly Music," and "Contemporary Country Coast to Coast." The topics within the sections include early rockabilly, country fans, the lives of country music stars, the business of country music, the changing image of country music, and country music today.
