Since its first publication in 1968, Bill C. Malone's Country Music USA has won universal acclaim as the definitive history of American country music. Starting with the music's folk roots in the rural South, it traces country music from the early days of radio into the twenty-first century. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, Malone, the featured historian in Ken Burns's 2019 documentary on country music, has revised every chapter to offer new information and fresh insights. Coauthor Tracey Laird tracks developments in country music in the new millennium, exploring the relationship between the current music scene and the traditions from which it emerged.

Except the last two chapters, which are new with this edition. I found the next-to-last chapter, by Malone, unsatisfactory--while it talks about late-twentieth-century country music at about the same level of detail as the rest of the book, the treatment's relatively superficial.
The last chapter, by co-author Tracey EW Laird, is just annoying. While there's some good work in the chapter, it's tied way too closely to the Dixie Chicks (a group I love, by the way). It begins and ends with their CMA performance with Beyonce; in between there's discussion of their "controversial" politics. Some of that discussion certainly belongs in this book, but it shouldn't have been central to the chapter. (
