Description
Billboard’s former country music editor, Edward Morris, comments–often humorously–on artists ranging from Roy Acuff to Taylor Swift. He includes scholarly pieces as well, including the most complete account ever of the events leading up to the suicide of rising star Mel Street. If you’ve ever wondered why Keith Urban used to wear an FFA jacket, how hard it is to find Steve Wariner’s house in the dark or why further recordings and performances of “Amazing Grace” should be outlawed, the answers are all here.
