In this day of digital delivery, more and more popular music arrives to its listeners in downloadable bits, giving away very little about where the songs come from or who is behind them. At the same time contemporary popular culture, with its ancestryexcavating Web sites and television shows, reveals that people are craving answers to those very same questions about themselves.Right by Her Roots is a book for this moment, a thorough and thoughtful exploration of the bodies of work of eight groundbreaking artists who acknowledge, in their songs and in their lives, their relationships to their rootsboth musical and personal. Jewly Hight, a highly regarded and spirituallysavvy music writer, delves into the journeys and styles of eight of the most distinctive voices in Americana music: Lucinda Williams, Julie Miller, Victoria Williams, Michelle Shocked, Mary Gauthier, Ruthie Foster, Elizabeth Cook, and Abigail Washburn.Hight proves there is much to be gained from digging into the oeuvres of singers and songwriters who put something of themselves and their pursuits of meaning into their music. What she unearths, through vivid original interviews and perceptive analysis of their spirits, sounds, and stylesnot just their lyricsis rich insight into what animates their work and how they view and experience the world. Giving musicmaking women the serious attention they deserve but rarely receive, Right by Her Roots is an especially important and engaging account.
