Download Linthead Stomp: The Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South AudioBook Free
Contrary to popular belief, the roots of American country music do not rest only on southern farms or in hill hollows. Rather, much of this music noted before World Battle II emerged from the bustling metropolitan areas and towns of the Piedmont South. No group added more to the commercialization of early on country music than southern factory workers. Huber explores the origins and development of this music in the Piedmont's mill villages and will be offering vivid portraits of any colorful ensemble of Piedmont millhand music artists, including Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, Dave McCarn, and the Dixon Brothers.
