Who's Who in New Country Music

By Andrew Vaughan

With musicians like Randy Travis and Ricky Skaggs leading the way, country music has returned to its roots in the 1980s with a harder, livelier sound: new country music. More radio stations now play country than any other type of music, and this book is a valuable guide to the leading stars and up-and-coming performers behind the movement: Terry Allen and Dwight Yoakam, Randy Travis and Webb Wilder, Reba McEntire and k. d. Lang, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Judds. Each entry is packed with information on the artists' careers, backgrounds, and influences. Extra features on British country music and classic country help make this volume an essential guide to a dynamic new scene, useful and entertaining for fans and professionals alike. Book jacket.
