Summary:Music historian Tony Russell explores a collection of records of early country music from the 1920s and '30s, unlocking and revealing their hidden stories. The seventy-eight essays on selected 78rpm discs explain what they tell us about the musicians who sang and played the songs and tunes, the listeners who absorbed them, and the development of the genre-old-time music-in which they found a home.
