| Summary |
"G.B. Grayson and Henry Whitter were artists in early country music. Although the duo sold thousands of records during the 1920s, the details of their lives remain unknown. Featuring never before published photographs and interviews, this book chronicles the romantic intrigues and tragic deaths that marked their lives and explores the Southern Appalachian culture that shaped their music"-- Provided by publisher |
