"A substantial revision and updating of this monumental work. . . .
The entries in the Music volume are well written, accessible, and
insightful, and collectively, they make fascinating reading and
provide a useful resource for checking basic historical and
biographical facts. . . . A first-rate reference work and the only
one, at least in a single volume, that covers all of the major
musical genres of the American South. It belongs on the bookshelves
of scholars and general readers alike who are interested in the
region, its culture, or American music." -- North Carolina

Alabama Review
