Chicago's pivotal role in the evolution of country and folk music is explored through its vibrant musical history. The city served as a launching pad for numerous artists and was home to major record labels before Nashville became the genre's epicenter. Through extensive interviews and archival research, Mark Guarino reveals how rural migrants shaped urban music scenes, highlighting influential events like the National Barn Dance and the Old Town School of Folk Music. This narrative celebrates the creative spirit that transformed American folk traditions and continues to influence contemporary artists.
