"Chock-full of photos capturing the first decade of the festival movement. . . . Those pictures reflect the passion, commitment, and simple pleasure of performers and fans alike, supporting the notion that a good weekend of bluegrass music can make a believer of anyone." --Richard Harrington, Washington Post"Striking photographs. . . . Covers many aspects of the music's culture, including small-town nightspots and support systems like instrument makers, radio stations and record companies, before concluding with a marvelous chapter on Monroe. It's also chock-full of photos capturing the first decade of the festival movement. . . . Those pictures reflect the passion, commitment, and simple pleasure of performers and fans alike, supporting the notion that a good weekend of bluegrass music can make a believer of anyone."--Richard Harrington, Washington Post"Bluegrass Odyssey is a superb work. The text is fascinating, and every picture captures the emotions that create the high lonesome sound and the style of the musicians who play it."--Hal Bruno, ABC News
