He spent years researching the material - interviewing people who were there at the time; and reading newspaper reports; etc; so the facts are both accurate and; in some instances; unexpected. He personalises the story behind the Opry; and the mission to make country music an accepted and integral part of American culture.The books illustrations are contemporary photographs of the people and places. He includes lyrics from some of the early songs; including versions that were never recorded. His attention to detail; throughout the book; is first class.I highly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in American music culture in general or country music in particular.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Written by the late; great Charles K.
