"It is rare to come across a book that so perfectly matches its
subject matter in content but here we have it in a revealing,
kaleidoscopic, entertaining biography of the great singer and
bandleader John Duffey...This book is every bit as multi-faceted,
funny, and entertaining as Duffey was. Moore and Keplinger have
written an essential and entertaining book on the larger than life
John Duffey."-- Bluegrass Unlimited magazine

entertaining musical history of the bluegrass scene as well as more
academic materials, including an essay by Robert Kyle on Duffey's
Irish roots and a lengthy discography... A truly definitive look at
a bluegrass legend and the scene that produced him."-- Kirkus
