Reviews for Baseball and Country Music
Baseball and country music have many historic links.... Don Cusic finds these in their lower- or working-class popularity and in their ongoing quests for respectability (which money and success finally brought to both). - Ronnie Pugh, author of Ernest Tubb: The Texas Troubadour
