"This volume has turned out to be mightily impressive, beyond even what aficionados could possibly have hoped for. The American arm of Oxford University Press have served the project in the finest possible manner." * Musical Traditions * "English discographer Tony Russell's magnum opus Country Music Records is a massive discography of every pre-WWII country music recording ever made. In a work more than two decades in the making, eagerly anticipated by discographers and country music scholars, Russell and the late Bob Pinson make the first comprehensive examination of every commercial country music recording session, 1921-42...Country Music Records is a model of its kind and the most important discography of vernacular American music since Blues & Gospel Records 1890-1943." * Choice *More details
