Author Hughes describes the inner workings of the country-soul triangle--a network of recording studios in Memphis, Nashville, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, that worked with both white and black
artists from country and soul backgrounds, and all of the musical hybrids in between--during the 1960s and 70s, a time and place rife with racial tension. This book studies the topic from a
labor-based analysis of the triangle musicians as workers and their studios as working environments, and it shows the reader how country-soul musicians were not only musicians--they were
activists. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
