From Library Journal:
Hinton, a British rock fan and author of several books (Let Them All Talk: Elvis Costello; Joni Mitchell: Both Sides Now; and Celtic Crossroads: The Art of Van Morrison), takes a wild, U.K.-flavored drive through what he views as influences on today's country music. Although Hinton covers a lot of materialDfrom Celtic myths and Appalachian music to Bob Dylan and Bruce SpringsteenDis not very thorough. His writing is more like an extended conversation among a group of people kicking back, with country music as soundtrack. Consequently, the text is disjointed. Readers will fare better with classics such as Bill C. Malone's Country Music USA (1985. rev. ed.).DKathleen Sparkman, Baylor Univ., Waco, TX
