Críticas
"If you wanted to recommend one book to someone new to our music this one is pretty damn good." - Bluegrass Now "[W]hat she has provided is not a definitive, finished road map of where bluegrass has come from and where it will ultimately go--no such map can ever exist really. More accurately and usefully, she's provided a set of mileposts and signposts for the new travelers to follow, or not, as they choose. It's an easy read, and if you're looking to get your feet wet in bluegrass, a good place to jump in." - Sing Out! "If you or someone you know is just discovering bluegrass music, you might want to take a look at Stephanie Ledgin's new book, Homegrown Music. . . . a very readable primer for bluegrass newbies. And even if you've been around the music awhile, you'll still enjoy her 25 recordings to jump-start your collection." - Messenger Inquirer "An authoritative, wide-ranging, inspiring study of bluegrass music. . . . points the initiated to numerous ways to expand their knowledge of the genre, its practitioners and products. Suggested resources include recordings, books, museums, print and online publications, festivals, broadcasts, retail outlets, instrument instruction and organiztions that shepherd the art." - Bluegrass Music Profiles "This expert introduction to Appalachian mountain music and its offshoots, bluegrass and newgrass, should be required reading for every newly-appointed or elected student Bluegrass Director in the college and university radio stations across America which have just discovered the power of the music thro such vehicles as the film, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (referenced frequently thru this text), and who need this kind of thorough rounding in the music they have come to recently and with great curiosity. . . . a cornucopia of riches." - TheDigitalFolkLife.Org "If you are new to bluegrass because of O Brother Where Art Thou?, or you just want a refresher course in the history of one of the most treasured types of music, you should purchase Homegrown Music: Discovering Bluegrass. Stephanie P. Ledgin has written a wonderful book." - About.com "[A] great guide for people new to the music, or for fans or players who want to learn more about bluegrass and to find more of it. The book covers all aspects of the music from the past to the present: its history, the instruments, the songs, the players, the recordings, the music in popular culture, its international appeal, the festival culture, and where it is heading. . . . Homegrown Music is an informative and easytoread book by someone who knows a lot about the music. It's the perfect introduction for those interested in knowing more about bluegrass and a needed addition to the canon of bluegrass scholarship." - Bluegrass Unlimited "[A] lively, readable introduction to this distinctly American form. . . . If you've ever wondered what bluegrass was all about, here's a great place to begin." - Boston Sunday Globe "This book serves as a good primer for anyone who has been bitten by the O Brother bug and wants to immerse him/herself more deeply into bluegrass music. . . . a welcome addition to any organization or library wishing to provide a fantastic primer on bluegrass to its membership or patrons." - TriState Bluegrass Journal "Homegrown Music: Discovering Bluegrass takes a thorough look a the music that originated with Bill Monroe and his band, the Bluegrass Boys, in the 1940's. Based on research and interviews with such artists as Ralph Stanley, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and Jim Lauderdale, Ledgin traces bluegrass's growth from traditional sounds to modern experimentation. Appendices include 25 recordings to jumpstart your collection, Video: A Random Sampling, and lists of bluegrass publications, books, magazines, and record companies." - Dirty Linen "Ledgin provides a helpful survey of the genre as well as an engaging introduction to the music. . . . helps first-time listeners understand the differences between traditional bluegrass and the new grass. . . . offers an entertaining glimpse of today's bluegrass scene. Every library should own a copy." - Library Journal, Starred Review
Reseña del editor
With retail sales of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack exceeding 6.5 million copies since its 2000 release, bluegrass music has re-entered the spotlight as a major American style, spawning huge successes with subsequent albums. Author Stephanie P. Ledgin has captured the rich history of this music in Homegrown Music, a lively, informative book that is perfect for newcomers and devoted fans, musicians, and non-musicians. Though recognized and embraced internationally, bluegrass is one of only two musical genres native to America and, like jazz, it boasts a colorful and lively history, one that is captured here in all its detail complete with candid interviews with such legends as Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Covering such aspects of bluegrass as instrumentation, songs, the festival experience, and parking lot picking, Homegrown Music also offers candid interviews with many celebrated bluegrass figures. An extensive up-to-the-minute resource guide of print, audio-visual, and Internet materials rounds out the volume. Enthusiasts of all ages will find much to discover and much to enjoy.
