Kurzbeschreibung
From country to blues, jazz to soul, bluegrass to the more recent alternative takes on these genres, "It Still Moves" looks at the paths trodden in American roots music and those to come. Taking the highway - perhaps that most potent symbol of American freedom - as her starting point, Amanda Petrusich's book explores how this melting pot of styles and influences all contribute to the rich and progressive sounds coming out of America today. Warm, entertaining and insightful, it is the first serious attempt to celebrate the much maligned and misunderstood term 'Americana'.

It Didn't Move Me: Bad Writing about Country Music and Highway Travel
5. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is an unsuccessful combination of a travelogue, a history of country music, and an analysis of current trends in Americana. The historical portions are thinly researched, the analysis is at best trite and unoriginal and at worst confused, and the travel writing is a failed attempt to channel the mystique of the American road. Everything is in a blog style that is far too lightly edited. Despite Ms. Petrusich's clear affection for the music, she has nothing interesting or new to say about it. The only crumbs of insight come from artist interviews and quotes from other authors. There is plenty of great writing about country music and its history; off the top of my head, recent enjoyable reads include Havighurst's Air Castle of the Sky, about WSM; Colin Escott's Hank Williams bio; Gura's America's Instrument, about the banjo; and No Depression, in its magazine, anthology, and online forms. Check those out instead.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Kevin, above, was right. I didn't believe him and bought this book for my wife. She would read large portions to me so that we could jointly mock this one. Petrusich writes like she wants to be Greil Marcus when she grows up. She has his flatulent verbosity, but unfortunately, she missed out on delivering actual content, which Greil does do occasionally.
Petrusich uses adjectives as if she gets paid per use. This would be great if it added anything, but unfortunately, this books reads more like a thesaurus than a creative work. She has little to say and says it badly. This is a good concept that gets more or less ruined. Don't buy it.

Great read

Would have preferred more information on the newer music scenes but love the personal perspective on the more historical stuff. Great for someone looking for a crash course in American roots music with a younger voice.
