What does the "country" in country music mean? Most interpret country as a regional or folk music that belongs to people in the hills and in honky-tonks, but Cecelia Tichi argues that it is in fact a national music form, one that belongs to all Americans. Generously illustrated with photographs of country music artists and images of American art, High Lonesome uses interviews and biographical profiles to provide an insider's look at the schooling, customs, demands, and discipline of country music -- an art form that Tichi maintains is emphatically part of mainstream American culture.Tichi, Cecelia is the author of 'High Lonesome' with ISBN 9780807821343 and ISBN 0807821349.
