Vintage Country: The Essential Artists and Songs, from Old-Time to Honky-Tonk, 1920-1970

An illustrated exploration of country music's origins, tracing its evolution from early recordings and radio days through the 1940s-1950s before Nashville's dominance. The book features profiles of over 100 key artists and bands organized into six chapters by style and era: pre-Depression "Old Time" music, Radio Years stars (1930s-WWII), cowboy & western music, Western swing, honky-tonk, and bluegrass. Each entry includes artist history, influences, career details, and essential recordings lists. The work is enriched with posters, sheet music, and artifacts.
