An impressive contribution to our understanding that country music was not born in some pristine corner of America, untouched by the winds of change. . . .

Rather, much of this music recorded before World War II emerged from the bustling cities and towns of the Piedmont South. No group contributed more to the commercialization of early country music than southern factory workers. In Linthead Stomp , Patrick Huber explores the origins and development of this music in the Piedmont's mill villages. Huber offers vivid portraits of a colorful cast of Piedmont millhand musicians, including Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, Dave McCarn, and the Dixon Brothers, and considers the impact that urban living, industrial work, and mass culture had on their lives and music. Drawing on a broad range of sources, including rare 78-rpm recordings and unpublished interviews, Huber reveals how the country music recorded between 1922 and 1942 was just as modern as the jazz music of the same era. Linthead Stomp celebrates the Piedmont millhand fiddlers, guitarists, and banjo pickers who combined the collective memories of the rural countryside with the upheavals of urban-industrial life to create a distinctive American music that spoke to the changing realities of the twentieth-century South., Based on an interdisciplinary approach that utilizes perspectives prominent in history, sociology, literary criticism, folklore, and popular music scholarship, Linthead Stomp provides a sensitive and invaluable assessment of working-class adaptation to social change.-- Georgia Historical Quarterly, "In this groundbreaking study of the derivation of hillbilly music . . .
