ITEM OVERVIEW
How did the erstwhile music of the rural working class come to be the house genre of the GOP? Willman weaves together original interviews with dozens of key country and alt-country figures, including Steve Earle, Toby Keith, Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans, Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Chely Wright, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Nashville insiders, and fans of all stripes, to record and analyse the politics, culture and representation behind that most popular form of music. "An eye-opening tour through the fever swamps with a wryly genial host who o takes no sides and is fair to all of them." -Robbie Fulks Now in paperback.
