Read Or Download Rural Rhythm: The Story of Old-Time Country Music in 78 Records by Tony Russell Full Pages.

There are many biographies and histories of early country music and its creators, but surprisingly little attention has been given to the actual songs at the heart of these narratives.

Read Or Download Inside/Out by Joseph Osmundson Full Pages.

?Bold, wise, percussive delight ? Joseph Osmundson brings to the page the candor of the empty bed, and the full one, too. Inside/Out is like if Maggie Nelson had written Bluets about fucking men.? ? ALEXANDER CHEE, author of Queen of the Night?I don't know that there is a writer in this country doing as much with queer theory, narrative momentum, whiteness, sexual identity and the literal outside as Joseph Osmundson. In Inside/Out, Osmundson manages to create an epic in less than fifty pages. Somehow, while welcoming readers into so many folds of his life, he manages to obliterate spectacle and really demands we ask ourselves who and what we are, and who and what we want to hide, from the inside out. Inside/Out is more than an intervention, more than a literary awakening; it is the terrifying and utterly gorgeous exploration of what love, loss, and fear do to us from the inside out. I have never read anything like this book.? ? KIESE LAYMON, author of How To Slowly Kill Yourself and
