Are You Ready for the Country

Country Rock, as played by the Byrds, the Eagles, & The Flying Burrito Brothers, was the dominant style in American music during the 1970s. But the artistically fertile relationship between rock & country music has--since their first encounter in the 1950s--been uneasy & often explosive. ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY traces their tumultuous history & introduces us to all the main personalities--from pioneers like Hank Williams & Elvis Presley, through icons such as Gram Parsons & Johnny Cash, to superstars like Neal Young & Willie Nelson, & today's artists such as Beck & Wilco.Doggett, Peter is the author of 'Are You Ready for the Country' with ISBN 9780142000168 and ISBN 0142000167.
