An intimate series of portraits of musicians who are part of the musical genre known as Americana, or alternative country.
Monte Dutton is a longtime country music enthusiast and sports journalist whose reporting often takes him to Texas, the Southwest, and the southern Midwest, where much of the music featured in this book can be heard. Dutton is a motor sports writer for the Gaston Gazette and NASCAR columnist for AOL Sports.
"An immensely readable collection of interviews carried out by journalist and writer, Monte Dutton, in which he talks to a wide variety of people personally involved in what's come to be known as Americana music, and who, almost to a man, are all disappointed and highly critical of the way country music has changed in recent years."--British Country Music Association Bulletin, February 2007
