   "In recent years, The Encyclopedia Of Folk, Country & Western Music has   
   been recognized as a classic: a necessity for anyone interested in popular   
   music today. The approximately five hundred entries range from biographies   
   of the more "traditional" folk and country personalities, such as, Woody   
   Guthrie, Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold, and Joan Baez, to those of the folk rock   
   and country blues genres, such as Leadbelly, Muddy Waters, and Bob Dylan.   
   Much of the biographical material has been drawn from direct interviews   
   with the musicians. This encyclopedia includes definitions of musical terms   
   and a discussion of the major classes of folk, country, and western styles.   
   Instruments are discussed, from banjo to sitar to zither, and a special   
   emphasis id given to the guitar and its history and uses. along with   
   hundreds of photographs, the book includes several essays on folk, country   
   and western music, and an extrensive bibliography and discography." The

   Arnold, Homer and Jethro, The Browns, Skeeter Davis, The Sons Of The
