Publisher's Synopsis
A music trivia book for people who like the country music that the country music stations don't play.
If you like Gram Parsons or Neko Case or Alejandro Escovedo or Kacey Musgraves or want to discover the music you've been missing, this book is for you. With hundreds of questions and other puzzles, it will test your knowledge of the best artists from the Carter Family to Orville Peck, with questions like these:
- What was the name of Uncle Tupelo's demo tape (as well as bootlegs of their final show)?
- What Brandi Carlile album did Barack Obama write the forward for?
- Who wrote about John Prine after seeing him at an open mic, leading to his first contract?
- What Lucinda Williams album did Steve Earle say was the "least amount of fun I've had working on an album"?
- What grunge band did Sturgill Simpson cover on A Sailor's Guide to Earth?
Plus, for every question there are recommended songs and albums, so you can listen (and sing) along. Check out the whole Music That Doesn't Suck Music Trivia Book series!
