From a historical and "trivial" perspective, this was a good book. I learned quite a bit about the roots of country rock. Unfortunately, Einarson tended to repeat himself from one page to the next, and his writing style was not to my liking. (This was almost like reading a text book).
Painfully boring!
Not particularly well written, but interesting.
Very interesting infos about the history of country rock - unfortunately, it is not a very well written book, too repetitive in structure...
I'd still recommend it to anybody interested in country rock; and a must-read for fans of contemporary alt.country, too, after all, that's where it all started...
