Riassunto

Following the unlikely appearance of Bob Dylan on The Johnny Cash Show in 1969 Country Rock, as played by the Byrds, the Eagles and Gram Parsons, was to become the dominant style in American rock during the following decade. This was the most publicevidence of a collision of styles which had first occured in the mid-1950s, and which has sent shockwaves through American music ever since. In this absorbing and informative history, Doggett introduces us to all the main personalities - from pioneers like Hank Williams and Elvis Presley, through icons such as the brilliant but self-destructive Gram Parsons and Johnny Cash, to superstars like Neil Young and Willie Nelson and todays country rockers including Beck and Wilco.
