| Abstract | This book recalls the lost worlds of pioneering fiddlers and pickers, balladeers and yodelers. Examining "hillbilly" music's pre-commercial era and its early popular growth through radio and recordings, the author shows us that it was a product not only of the British Isles but of diverse African, German, Spanish, French, and Mexican influences. |
