Book Synopsis

This series of biographical profiles shines a spotlight on that special place Where the West meets the Guitar. From Gene Autry and Roy Rogers to contemporary artists like Michael Murphy, Red Steagall, Don Edwards and Riders in the Sky, many entertainers have performed music of the West, a genre separate from mainstream country music and yet an important part of the country music heritage. Once called Country and Western, it is now described as Country or Western. Though much has been written about Country, very little has been written about Western--until now.

Featured are a number of photos of the top stars in Western music, past and present. Also included is an extensive bibliography of works related to the Western music field.
