milkweedwitch's review
4.0
I confess, I have a deep and abiding love for country music. Not the "country" you hear on the radio. REAL country music. Hank Williams. Johnny Cash. The Louvin Brothers. I'll also admit I have issues with the Grand Ole Opry. All this combined with my adoration of Escott's writing, buying and reading this book was a given.
I found the history fascinating. There was so much I didn't know. The anecdotes and assorted photos and ephemera made this a really comprehensive work on the history of the Opry. Recommended not only for real country music fans, but for music fans in general, as so much modern music has roots in country music.
