Beskrivning

The histories of baseball and country music ran in parallel tracks from the fringes to the mainstream, gaining exposure and building heroes, first via radio broadcasts and then on the television screen. Both evolved with American society through wartime, the Civil Rights movement, and into the age of multimillion dollar superstars. Don Cusic offers an engaging and insightful analysis that addresses race, gender, class, ethnicity, business practices and marketing, performance, media, and the cult of celebrity.

Recensioner i media

Baseball and country music have many historic links.... Don Cusic finds these in their lower- or working-class popularity and in their ongoing quests for respectability (which money and success finally brought to both). - Ronnie Pugh, author of Ernest Tubb: The Texas Troubadour
