True Adventures With The King Of Bluegrass
Tom Piazza’s provocative portrait of bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin, originally written for the Oxford American, has been reissued in slightly amended book form by Vanderbilt Press/Country Music Foundation. True Adventures With The King Of Bluegrass has been expanded with additional photographs by Jim Herrington, Piazza’s narrative tour of Martin’s recordings (not a discography but a commentary), John Rumble’s appendix of Martin’s career highlights, and a foreword by Marty Stuart. This title is intended to launch a new series of short profiles in book form, though at $17.95 the hardback seems a bit thin.
