Country Comes to Town - The Music Industry and the Transformation of Nashville

Informationen zum Autor Jeremy Hill, who earned a PhD in American studies from George Washington University, is an independent scholar who lives in Chicago. Klappentext Country music evokes a simple, agrarian past, with images of open land and pickup trucks. While some might think of the genre as a repository of nostalgia, popular because it preserves and reveres traditional values, Jeremy Hill argues that country music has found such expansive success because its songs and its people have forcefully addressed social and cultural issues as well as geographic change.
