A&R Pioneers
«"A significant contribution that casts fresh light on an under-explored subject—the varied collective and individual contributions of record company A&R managers and scouts to popular roots music. Fluid, highly readable, and packed with a great deal of necessary detail." — Barry Mazor, author of Ralph Peer and the Making of Popular Roots Music
