The night his new album is released, Wade Hayes, the handsome young star with the haunted past, returns to his hometown for a bittersweet reunion. Minutes after receiving an award, Wynonna Judd, the feisty performer with the fragile soul, retreats to the back of her mother's restaurant and collapses in tearful frustration. Hours before his first show in years, Garth Brooks, the best-selling recording artist in American history, stands atop his giant stage and describes his paralyzing inner fears. Over the last several years, country music has undergone a sweeping revolution-and one writer was granted unprecedented access to witness private moments of that revolution and to chronicle the genre's biggest stars as they changed the face of American music and the town that country calls home.

An interesting book even if you're not a country music fan lowkell@aol.com I have never been, nor am I now, a country music fan (sorry Bruce, your book didn't convince me!). I prefer the rebelliousness and political awareness of rock, the fascinatin' African-American rhythms of jazz, and the soulfulness of the blues to, as Bruce Feiler puts it, the music of a "generic social conservatism" and lack of interest in a broader world outside the smug, self-absorbed, oblivious, homogeneous cul-de-sacs of deepest darkest suburbia.

Highly recommended for country music collections.-?Kathleen Sparkman, Baylor Univ. After spending several years abroad, he returned to the South and soon embraced the "new" country music. From Library Journal Feiler is a Southerner who grew up distancing himself from "hillbilly" country music. . One hopes that his first book on country music is not his last, for he is a savvy author and journalist who can sort through misconceptions about country music and analyze the historical background with a clarity that other writers sometimes lack. For balance in a collection, Feiler's book belongs with Dan Daley's Nashville's Unwritten Rules: Inside the Business of the Country Music Machine (LJ 12/97).
