The headline in the newspaper screamed at Jason. The photo of Marian haunted him, her sad eyes filling his heart with dread. For Marian Feldon is Jason's mother. And on his eighteenth birthday she will die. Marian Feldon will be executed for the murder of her lover. Everyone, even her lawyer, is convinced of her guilt -- except for Jason. He knows his mother could never murder anyone. But certain doom is only a few days away. And there is no one to turn to, nowhere to go. Then, at the bedside of a dying stranger, Jason learns something that could free his mother...something that sends him down a nightmarish trail of double-crossing, deceit, and danger. But Jason is desperate, and he'll risk anything to save his mother's life. Even death.

Word travels slowly across a desert plane. By the time Blue Covington arrived back to La Plateau after word that his family ranch had been taken over by marauders, he found another mystery plaguing the townsfolk. Three musicians have been singing death songs, terrorizing the locals. Those who can leave are fleeing, but pride keeps others around, hoping a death song isn't sung for them. Those unfortunates don't make it through the night, and the aftermath is a testament to brutality. After such a strange homecoming, Blue seeks guidance from an old flame. Louise uses her psychic abilities, but the cloud of darkness hanging over La Plateau is thick. The people are scared. Blue has to face the fears of an entire town and partner up with unlikely allies to have a chance at getting the family ranch back from a gang of psychopaths with one motive: vengeance against Blue Covington. Who's name will be on the lips that sing the next death song?

The years from about 1950 to 1970 were the golden age of twang. Country music's giants all strode the earth in those years: Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, George Jones and Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. And many of the standards that still define country were recorded then: "Folsom Prison Blues," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Mama Tried," "Stand by Your Man," and "Coal Miner's Daughter." In Sing Me Back Home, Dana Jennings pushes past the iconic voices and images to get at what classic country music truly means to us today. Yes, country tells the story of rural America in the twentieth century—but the obsessions of classic country were obsessions of America as a whole: drinking and cheating, class and the yearning for home, God and death. Jennings, who grew up in a town that had more cows than people when he was born, knows all of this firsthand. His people lived their lives by country music. His grandmothers were honky-tonk angels, his uncles men of constant sorrow, and his father a romping, stomping hell-raiser who lived for the music of Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the other rockabilly hellions. Sing Me Back Home is about a vanished world in which the Depression never ended and the sixties never arrived. Jennings uses classic country songs to explain the lives of his people, and shows us how their lives are also ours—only twangier.

For over fifty years, Bill C. Malone has researched and written about the history of country music. Today he is celebrated as the foremost authority on this distinctly American genre. This new collection brings together his significant article-length work from a variety of sources, including essays, book chapters, and record liner notes. Sing Me Back Home distills a lifetime of thinking about country and southern roots music. Malone offers the heartfelt story of his own working-class upbringing in rural East Texas, recounting how in 1939 his family’s first radio, a battery-powered Philco, introduced him to hillbilly music and how, years later, he went on to become a scholar in the field before the field formally existed. Drawing on a hundred years of southern roots music history, Malone assesses the contributions of artists such as William S. Hays, Albert Brumley, Joe Thompson, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Gimble, and Elvis Presley. He also explores the intricate relationships between black and white music styles, gospel and secular traditions, and pop, folk, and country music. Author of many books, Malone is best known for his pioneering volume County Music, U.S.A., published in 1968. It ranks as the first comprehensive history of American country music and remains a standard reference. This compilation of Malone’s shorter—and more personal—essays is the perfect complement to his earlier writing and a compelling introduction to the life’s work of America’s most respected country music historian.

Texas, the 1930s—the years of the Great Depression. It was the Texas of great men: Dobie, Bedichek, Webb, the young Américo Paredes. And it was the Texas of May McCord and "Cocky" Thompson, the Reverend I. B. Loud, the Cajun Marcelle Comeaux, the black man they called "Grey Ghost," and all the other extraordinary "ordinary" people whom William A. Owens met in his travels. "Up and down and sideways" across Texas, Owens traveled. His goal: to learn for himself what the diverse peoples of the state "believed in, yearned for, laughed at, fought over, as revealed in story and song." Tell me a story, sing me a song brings together both the songs he gathered—many accompanied by music—and Owens' warm reminiscences of his travels in the Texas of the Thirties and early Forties.
