Country has always been a cornerstone of American music, but in recent years it has undergone quite a transformation. What was once brushed off as "hick music" only to be enjoyed by country stereotypes is now being enjoyed by more people than ever before. Its audience has grown exponentially, and its songs are dominating the radio waves. While the rest of the music industry continues to struggle, country seems to be stronger than ever. If one thing is for certain, country music isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I am retired, 82 years old. I have written four books since my retirement. I am a country music fan and I got to wondering who were the top 100 country singers. So I go on the Internet and start searching. I searched country music records for the top 100 singers.I searched the country music Association to find out who they felt was the top 100 singers. I compiled a list and started searching for them. I wanted to get all the information on them that I could. How they got started, what their background was, what they did in order to succeed as country music singers. What I found out was unbelievable. What the singers went through in life just to achieve their goal. Some of them ended up as alcoholics. Dope addicts, and a lot of them ended up with bad health. Most of the singers once they got started spent as much as 300 days on the road promoting their music. This interfered with family life and got to the point where they had no life at all.We buy their records to play and we listen to them playing on the radio but we have no idea what the singers go through. What I have gathered on them and written in this book is unbelievable. If you have a favorite country singer and you want to know how they got started and what they did to achieve their goal and you need to read this book.I have gathered autobiographies of the top 100 country singers as I gathered from the country music Association and fans from around the world. I know you will enjoy this book if you are a country music fan.

The rich and colorful story of America's most popular music and the singers and songwriters who captivated, entertained, and consoled listeners throughout the twentieth century--based on the upcoming eight-part film series to air on PBS in September 2019 This gorgeously illustrated and hugely entertaining history begins where country music itself emerged: the American South, where people sang to themselves and to their families at home and in church, and where they danced to fiddle tunes on Saturday nights. With the birth of radio in the 1920s, the songs moved from small towns, mountain hollers, and the wide-open West to become the music of an entire nation--a diverse range of sounds and styles from honky tonk to gospel to bluegrass to rockabilly, leading up through the decades to the music's massive commercial success today. But above all, Country Music is the story of the musicians. Here is Hank Williams's tragic honky tonk life, Dolly Parton rising to fame from a dirt-poor childhood, and Loretta Lynn turning her experiences into songs that spoke to women everywhere. Here too are interviews with the genre's biggest stars, including the likes of Merle Haggard to Garth Brooks to Rosanne Cash. Rife with rare photographs and endlessly fascinating anecdotes, the stories in this sweeping yet intimate history will captivate longtime country fans and introduce new listeners to an extraordinary body of music that lies at the very center of the American experience.

A Century of Country is a highly personal journey concerning real stories, real people, and real life. It looks backward to show how this multimillion-dollar entertainment form has drawn so much of its strength and resilience from its rich heritage. Country music is as old-fashioned as wax recordings and as modern as the Internet. It has always been part of America's cultural fabric and it always will be. It tells us so much about who we are as a people. It is the story of our past and the mirror to our future. It is, in a word, ourselves. Book jacket.
