Pages : 180
Book Description
Beaver Dam Rocking Chair Marathon, a work of creative non-fiction, is based on an actual event in which the protagonist, the bone man, rocks n a rocking chair for 89 hours and 55 minutes from Saturday morning to Wednesday morning, with only a 5 minute restroom break once every 3 hours. Of the 144 rockers who start the marathon, over 30 are hauled away to the hospital having had one kind of breakdown or another. But the book is far more than a documentary, it is a journey through the inner and outer landscapes of a young Kentucky wilderness rebel poet who has returned home for the first time since he left for good when he was 17. Beaver Dam Rocking Chair Marathon is much more than a bildungsroman, a novel of becoming, it is the epic narrative of a place a people a time like no other, Kentucky July 1973. The bone man intentionally travels into unknown realms. Beaver Dam Rocking Chair Marathon is a play, a film, a complex literary poem prose saga, it is a masterpiece.

Country Music Originals
Author: Tony Russell
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199839905
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Graced by more than 200 illustrations, many of them seldom seen and some never before published, this sparkling volume offers vivid portraits of the men and women who created country music, the artists whose lives and songs formed the rich tradition from which so many others have drawn inspiration. Included here are not only such major figures as Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, and Gene Autry, who put country music on America's cultural map, but many fascinating lesser-known figures as well, such as Carson Robison, Otto Gray, Chris Bouchillon, Emry Arthur and dozens more, many of whose stories are told here for the first time. To map some of the winding, untraveled roads that connect today's music to its ancestors, Tony Russell draws upon new research and rare source material, such as contemporary newspaper reports and magazine articles, internet genealogy sites, and his own interviews with the musicians or their families. The result is a lively mix of colorful tales and anecdotes, priceless contemporary accounts of performances, illuminating social and historical context, and well-grounded critical judgment. The illustrations include artist photographs, record labels, song sheets, newspaper clippings, cartoons, and magazine covers, recreating the look and feel of the entire culture of country music. Each essay includes as well a playlist of recommended and currently available recordings for each artist. Finally, the paperback edition now features an extensive index.
