Recenzje

In Capital Bluegrass: Hillbilly Music Meets Washington D.C., Lornell has crafted a highly engaging and deeply informative narrative that is a journey through the soul of bluegrass music told through the lens of Washington D.C., an influential and often misunderstood city in the story of the genre. D.C. is a city that while existing outside of Appalachia, came to be regarded as the capital of bluegrass. Lornell deftly details this rise to prominence.
