Country: The Twisted Roots of Rock ´n´ Roll

Sobre el libro Country: The Twisted Roots of Rock ´n´ Roll de Nick Tosches publicado por Da Capo al 1996:

Celebrating the dark origins of our most American music, Country reveals a wild shadowland of history that encompasses blackface minstrels and yodeling cowboys; honky-tonk hell and rockabilly heaven; medieval myth and musical miscegenation; sex, drugs, murder; and rays of fierce illumination on Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others, famous and forgotten, whose demonology is America´s own. Profusely and superbly illustrated, Country stands as one of the most brilliant explorations of American musical culture ever written.
