Vintage Country is the first illustrated book to explore the rural and urban roots of country music, tracing its evolution from early recordings and the days of radio to its rise in the 1940s–1950s, prior to the dominance of Nashville. Written by renowned historian Tony Russell, it portraits over 100 key artists and bands, including Jimmie Rodgers, Doc Boggs, Taylor’s Kentucky Boys, Red Foley, the DeZurik Sisters, Carl T. Sprague, the Hackberry Ramblers, Hank Williams, Molly O’Day, Merle Travis, and the Louvin Brothers. The book is organized into six chapters by style and era:
• pre-Depression “Old Time” music
• stars of the radio era (1930s–WWII)
• cowboy & western music
• western swing
• honky-tonk
• bluegrass.
Each entry highlights the artist's history, influences, and career, featuring an 'essential recordings' list for quick reference. Lavishly illustrated with posters, sheet music, and memorabilia
