This series of biographical profiles shines a spotlight on that special place "e;Where the West meets the Guitar."e; From Gene Autry and Roy Rogers to contemporary artists like Michael Murphy, Red Steagall, Don Edwards and Riders in the Sky, many entertainers have performed music of the West, a genre separate from mainstream country music and yet an important part of the country music heritage. Once called "e;Country and Western,"e; it is now described as "e;Country or Western."e; Though much has been written about "e;Country,"e; very little has been written about "e;Western"e;--until now. Featured are a number of photos of the top stars in Western music, past and present. Also included is an extensive bibliography of works related to the Western music field.
