Format:Paperback
This book is a fascinating and very worthy analysis of the American Deep South "Country Soul" Music phenomenum. Barney Hoskyns has re-visited and updated his original edition of the book with current status on all of the great Artists and Producers and Record Labels of the genre. It's a really good blend of interviews and analysis mixed with the author's own views on the classic and seminal tracks from the era. I found the introductory chapter somewhat pretentious on first reading and was better rewarded by dipping in to specific entries on particular Artists and Producers. This book is absolutely essential reading for anyone remotely interested in the golden era of 60's Soul Music.

24 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
Barney Hoskyns delivers a beautiful insight of the various sounds of the South of the US. This is recommended to all music lovers who don't have a problem listening to country and soul at the same time. Hats off, Mr. Hoskyns!
