Country music's comin' home. Once again the songs reflect the beliefs of the people: life is hard but sometimes funny; love is sweet and parting bitter; death is certain and often tragic; God is real and heaven everlasting.From Southern Appalachia through the Delta South across the Western plains and mountains into the vast Northern reaches, the heart of traditional Country music lies in the life-sustaining faith of the people.In these pages you'll find the tears and the talents, the tragedies and the triumphs of the stars who are bringing Country music back full-circle. May the circle be unbroken.
