Tim Newby

Bluegrass in Baltimore

The Hard Drivin' Sound and Its Legacy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With an influx of Appalachian migrants who came looking for work in the 1940s and 1950s, Baltimore found itself populated by some extraordinary mountain musicians and was for a brief time the centre of the Bluegrass world. Based on interviews with legendary players from the Golden Age of Baltimore Bluegrass, this book provides the first in-depth coverage of this transplanted-roots music and its broader influence.
