From Library Journal

Feiler is a Southerner who grew up distancing himself from "hillbilly" country music. After spending several years abroad, he returned to the South and soon embraced the "new" country music. One hopes that his first book on country music is not his last, for he is a savvy author and journalist who can sort through misconceptions about country music and analyze the historical background with a clarity that other writers sometimes lack. Here he concentrates on the careers of Garth Brooks, Wynonna Judd, and Wade Hayes to show what it takes to get to the top in Nashville's country music world. For balance in a collection, Feiler's book belongs with Dan Daley's Nashville's Unwritten Rules: Inside the Business of the Country Music Machine (LJ 12/97). Highly recommended for country music collections.

Modern country music fans are better educated and wealthier than either adult contemporary or rock audiences, Feiler says. Those fans will find a thoughtful narrative about the state of their favorite music in his pages; others will at least find valuable reading on the commercialization and mainstreaming of country music. Feiler uses Garth Brooks, Wynona Judd, and Wade Hayes (who?) as his main examples of what's happening, and Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Jimmie Bowen, and Dick Clark (of all people) rear their ugly heads, too, as Feiler spiritedly delineates the little changes in a star's demeanor and lifestyle that may presage bigger changes in the music. Brooks, for example, now seems more studied and less vital, like modern country in general; Feiler gives much attention to exactly when and how Brooks changed. Feiler's assessment of the country music environment comes at a time when country has attained the pinnacle of pop cultural accomplishment. His take on whether it will now descend into vapidity makes good reading for those who care. Mike Tribby
