Book Synopsis

G.B. Grayson and Henry Whitter were two of the most influential artists in the early days of country music. Songs they popularized--Tom Dooley, Little Maggie, Handsome Molly, and Nine Pound Hammer--are still staples of traditional music. Although the duo sold tens of thousands of records during the 1920s, the details of their lives remain largely unknown.

Featuring never before published photographs and interviews with friends and relatives, this book chronicles for the first time the romantic intrigues and tragic deaths that marked their lives and explores the Southern Appalachian culture that shaped their music.
