Book Reviews of Linthead Stomp: The Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South
Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
The most interesting "old time music" book I have read in quite some time. The author manages to place several icons of early country music into a cultural context not done before... the millhands of the Southeast United States. Another reason to lament the loss of the cotton mills. I was also introduced to Dave McCarn, a hard living and seldom heard artist. A wonderful study, and I have added "linthead" to my vocabulary.

Summary of Linthead Stomp: The Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South
Contrary to popular belief, the roots of American country music do not lie solely on southern farms or in mountain hollows. Rather, much of this music recorded before World War II emerged from the bustling cities and towns of the Piedmont South. No group contributed more to the commercialization of early country music than southern factory workers. Huber explores the origins and development of this music in the Piedmont's mill villages and offers vivid portraits of a colorful cast of Piedmont millhand musicians, including Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, Dave McCarn, and the Dixon Brothers.History & Criticism Books
