"A seminal work in its field. . . . Robert Cantwell has had the
foresight, the initiative, and the intellectual creativity to
create a model for explaining a major force in southern and,
indeed, American culture."--Journal of Southern History
"A thoroughly researched and often brilliant attempt to place
bluegrass music into a historical, as well as musicological,
cultural, and imaginative context. Bluegrass
Breakdown is, without a doubt, the most thought-provoking work
on bluegrass--and its father, Bill Monroe--I have ever read."--Jon
Hartley Fox, Bluegrass Unlimited
