Críticas:

Heartaches by the Number is sure to be one of the most appreciated and informative books ever written about country music and great country singles. It will be loved by those in the music business as well as those outside the business. I was hono "This is certainly one of the most ambitious books ever written on country music, and, in many ways, one of the most important. Imagine someone having the gall to tell us what the 500 most important recordings have been! Anyone who reads this boo "An engaging, entertaining, educational read. Its grasp of the music's history is impressive; with few exceptions, its willingness to take critical and interpretive risks is admirable; its flow--and the quality of the actual writing--fe "Heartaches by the Number is country music's first bedside reader, and an invaluable one at that. Bound to settle--or to start--many lively discussions and arguments."

Reseña del editor:

This volume constitutes a populist history of country music. Its interwoven essays showcase the music's myriad roots and influences: stringband stomps and western swing, hillbilly boogie and honky-tonk, the Nashville sound and the neo-traditionalist movement, plus everything from blues and bluegrass to rockabilly and country-rock, even soul. It focuses on the records that defined the music to generations of fans, as well as the singers, songwriters, producers and pickers who made them. It takes the reader all the way from Patsy Montana's "I Want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" to Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried".
