The Rise of the Crooners
Some cool stories about forgotten artists of hard western honky tonk and rockabilly. Lots of stories about drinking and marrying adolescent girls. Escott has the goods but some of these vignettes go nowhere. Good companion to Cocaine and Rhinestones podcast (it was cited there for the Bakersfield Sound episodes) and adds to our knowledge of race, rusticity, Nashville history, etc. Lots of corn pone Ozark rednecks to be sure! Especially liked reading about Roy Orbison and Wanda Jackson. Pretty cool behind the music or lost history type work. Hard to believe more of these performers didn't perish on the highways: lots of drunk driving.
