From reviews of the first edition:
"The most accurate, complete and serious study of country music ever published." - Nashville Tennessean
"It will stand as a basic source of reference [on] country music for many years to come - probably forever." - Stereo Review
"A splendid book . . . impressively documented, and . . . beautifully written." - Journal of Southern History
From reviews of the revised edition:
"[Malone] has done something that most readers thought was impossible and that is to actually improve what most of us thought was a perfect book." - Country Music News
"For almost two decades, Bill Malone's Country Music, U.S.A. has stood as the book in its field; this new edition secures that position. Scholars, music lovers, and general readers will all find it rewarding, whether for the first or second time." - Journal of the West
"A book to be read, re-read, and savored." - Southwest Review
"Originally published in 1968 Bill C. Malone's impressive book is the definitive history of
country music, praised by fans and academics alike. It was revised in 1985 and now comes
yet another version, bringing us bang up-to-date. . . . It's a wonderful source of information and
reference and should be on the bookshelf of everyone professing to be a real country
fan."--British Country Music Association Bulletin, February 2003
