Folk Music in Overdrive: A Primer on Traditional Country and Bluegrass Artists

Focusing on less-known artists and leaving out the biggest names, this reference presents detailed biographical profiles of traditional country and bluegrass performers. An introduction gives an overview of the growth of the genre, followed by profiles grouped in sections on leaders and solo singers, sidemen, husband and wife duets, brother duets, and families and groups. Each section includes an introduction. Most of the essays and profiles collected here originally appeared in the print periodical Bluegrass Unlimited. The book contains b&w photos throughout.
