Country music was once the voice of working-class Southerners. But during the past decade, though, country has exploded across the U.S. and emerged as the voice of the new American majority. Given exclusive and unparalleled entree to the three major talents featured in this book, Bruce Feiler brilliantly interweaves their individual stories with the larger Nashville community and the characters who bring it to life. From the historic stage of the Grand Ole Opry to the dim light of a recording studio, from the manic crush backstage at the CMA Awards to the quiet intimacy of a photo shoot, here is a ruggedly authentic behind-the-scenes tour that takes you places outsiders have never before been allowed to go.
