| Synopsis: |
In recent years the seemingly male-dominated world of country music has seen an influx of chart-topping female artists but women have been pivotal in the country music scene since its inception. This volume presents current scholarship and writing on female country musicians. It begins with the 1920s career of teenage guitar picker Roba Stanley, then goes on to discuss Polly Jenkins and Her Musical Plowboys, 50s honky-tonker Rose Lee Maphis, superstar Faith Hill, the relationship between Emmylou Harris and poet Bronwen Wallace, the Louisiana Hayride's Margaret Lewis Warwick, and more. |
