I had never heard of American Roots Music. Then, I had a chance to take an American Roots Music course at university. It was fascinating. This is the textbook. I bought the older edition ( here) and it still did the trick. Mastering the subject is more important than getting the latest edition. Take it from an old guy who has taken classes at a dozen or so universities.There is a great audio companion that you can use to any of the editions of America's Musical Landscape. Use it in a CD player in a car that still has one; then, watch the Youtube on any of the music that you hear and you will get a good feel for what American Roots Music and classes are about. The chapters will make much more sense too.
