What separates this book from most musical journalism is that its biographies cover great characters about whom few of us are aware, and its histories are almost universally unknown to us., "From the electric Roni Stoneman to the plucky Polly Jenkins, the womenpresented here pioneered trails for women in country music and receivedlittle attention as thanks -- until now. The Women of Country Music turnsover new earth." -- Michael Streissguth, author of Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Reader., Gathers a wide range of current scholarship in country music studies,

industry." -- Cookeville (TN) Herald-Citizen, Pays dues to these savvy new players, as well as to the performers who blazed a path for their success., "Such a well-done and solid (yet fabulously

Synopsis
Women have been pivotal in the country music scene since its inception, as Charles K. Wolfe and James E. Akenson make clear in The Women of Country Music . Their groundbreaking volume presents the best current scholarship and writing on female country musicians. Beginning with the 1920s career of teenage guitar picker Roba Stanley, the contributors go on to discuss Polly Jenkins and Her Musical Plowboys, 50s honky-tonker Rose Lee Maphis, superstar Faith Hill, the relationship between Emmylou Harris and poet Bronwen Wallace, the Louisiana Hayride's Margaret Lewis Warwick, and more., The Awful Grace of God chronicles a multi-year effort to kill Martin Luther King Jr. by a group of the nation's most violent right-wing extremists. Impeccably researched and thoroughly documented, this examines figures like Sam Bowers, head of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi, responsible for more than three hundred separate acts of violence in Mississippi alo≠J.B. Stoner, who ran an organization that the California attorney general said was more active and dangerous than any other ultra-right organization;" and Reverend Wesley Swift, a religious demagogue who inspired two generations of violent extremists. United in a holy cause to kill King, this network of racist militants were the likely culprits behind James Earl Ray and King's assassination in Memphis on April 4th, 1968. King would be their ultimate prize—a symbolic figure whose assassination could foment an apocalypse that would usher in their Kingdom of God, a racially pure" white world. Hancock and Wexler have sifted through thousands of pages of declassified and never-before-released law enforcement files on the King murder, conducted dozens of interviews with figures of the period, and re-examined information from several recent cold case investigations. Their study reveals a terrorist network never before described in contemporary history. They have unearthed data that was unavailable to congressional investigators and used new data-mining techniques to extend the investigation begun by the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The Awful Grace of God offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of the King assassination and presents a roadmap for future investigation., Women have been pivotal in the country music scene since its inception, as Charles K.
