Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-23 00:00:00 Jason Wallace Five foot stomping, hand clapping stars. Mr. Tosches is a man after my own heart, tracing the lineage of country songs back to their origins. This exhaustive book is a work of love about country and roots music. It is an account of certain mystiques, and the folklore surrounding some of the artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Williams, and many others. Some who were a revelation to me, and led me on a music hunting voyage of discovery on You Tube and iTunes. It is written in a wonderful, non pretentious, non academic style and is filled with lists of songs,the year they were recorded or performed, and the artists that performed them. I loved it and the music history journey it took me on. It will be a valuable resource. 5 stars, best reads pile. I recommend it to all people interested in the history of country and roots music. It is not for those wanting an academic study though, as Mr. Tosches enjoys the darker folklore of some of the songs and people, he holds back no sordid details in his history.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-14 00:00:00 Ed Galvin OH. MY. GOD. First of all, let me say that I worked in indie/collector record stores off and on for over 10 years. I've seen record collectors up close and personal, and honestly I really admire their passion for their interest. I've verged on it myself. Until I did it for a living for more than, say, 6 months. My issues with this book: This is not about country music. It is about blues, minstrelry, and Jerry Lee Lewis. And it's a lot of "...and this can be seen when [artist:] recorded [song:] in [year:] (label), and [artist:] recorded [song:] in [year:] (label), then [artist:] recorded [song:] in [year:], ..." etc. etc. ad nauseum. Any connections between country (let alone, the "twisted roots of rock and roll") are not really made. As a matter of fact, even his long diatribe in the second chapter ("Orpheus, Gypsies, and the Origin of Rock 'n' Roll"), meant as scholarly I suppose, is a long string of bullshit. I read these books to get more information on the artists I do know, and to be intrigued enough about folks I don't know to seek them out. Even my interest in the wonderfully mysterious Emmett Miller was absolutely snuffed out by his Appendix, where the mystery was distilled into "[artist:] recorded [song:] in [year:] (label), which was then covered by [artist:] in [year:] (label), ... oh yeah, and MINSTRELRY, YEAH, THAT WAS SOME BADASS SHIT!!!" You get the idea. The man obviously knows his shit about artists, records, labels, etc. but this book is incoherent, reads like a barely (and poorly) edited version of his 3x5 notecards from his research, and the ties to the supposed premise/theme of the book (i.e., country music and its ties to early rock and roll) are tenuous at best. This would be a great resource book for others that are, like the author, huge record collectors. Maybe they would get more than 20% of the references to [artist:] recording [song:] in [year:] (label) and it would be meaningful to them, but for the rest of us mortals it's just snooze city.
