But this is a thin idea for a book. The first 100 dart across Tennessee to Graceland; down US 61 into Mississippi; up to Nashville; and so on. The author derives no real insights from the travel (her comments on Nashville seem focused on the convention business).Slogging on she gets into an extended discusiion/definition of alt country music. The writing is uninspired and offers few insights.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A must read for anyone interested in American music rootsBy Kirk DornbushReading this book this book is the next best thing to taking the road trip yourself. Amanda Petrusichs prose is captivating and transformative. At the books end I was simultaneously left homesick for my beloved south and jonesing for a road trip to Brooklyn!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. It Keeps Moving...By Jason WoodburyFantastic book. Petrusichs voice is clear and engaging; and her travelogue approach makes for a pleasurable and vivid romp through the various ways we define "American Music" and the places it comes from. Petrusichs "Americana" is slippery and hard to pin down; but thats what makes it so much fun to read about and consider.
