Reviews:“The story of the rise, decline, and stubborn survival of the shape-note gospel tradition in south central Kentucky. Montell has tirelessly scouted out the many groups and provides a description of them and their musical world. An important study of a folk tradition.”—American Music
“Provides a much-needed antidote to the stereotype of the modern gospel singer as a slick, money-minded professional whose polyester suits are monuments to bad taste.”—Journal of Southern History
“Ranks as a significant study in the history of American vernacular music.”—Oral History Review
