Review
Although there has been plenty written about bluegrass over the years, Smith's guide so well mixes the wacky humor and the intelligence characteristic of the bluegrass scene with solid recording recommendations and a manageable number of resource listings that it should be reckoned the primer of choice on its subject....Best of all, he explains in nonmusician-accessible language how and why the music sounds the way it does; once you've read and absorbed Smith on bluegrass, you'll know what it is and what it is not and every bone-deep bluegrass fan will thank you for it. Ray Olson, Booklist
