"This volume has turned out to be mightily impressive, beyond even what aficionados could possibly have hoped for. The American arm of Oxford University Press have served the project in the finest possible manner."--Musical Traditions, "This monumental work is now finally available and has proved worth thewait. ... beautifully printed on high quality paper and...glorious dustjacket...[Country Music Records] is a list of every country music recording madebetween 1921 and 1942--issued and unissued but it's the detail provided thatmakes this indispensable for fans, collectors and researchers. ... This is thebook many of us have been waiting for for a long time and can be considered THEpublishing even since the beginning of the 21st century."--Roots andRhythm, "Early Country Music Fans will have a field day this month. ... Essentialfor all serious Country and Hillbilly collectors."--Steve Ramm, "It is a monumental work of American music scholarship, and may well redefine the parameters of future studies in country music. For years, the thousands of commercial recordings which preserved the vital sounds of one of America's most original musics formed a vast, confusing terra incognita;here, after twenty years' work, is a map to those vast riches."--Charles Wolfe, country music historian and author of Classic Country, and A Good Natured Riot: The Birth of the Grand Ole Opry, "This is clearly the most important and best-executed American music reference book to be published in 2004. This volume is indispensable and its usefulness is enhanced because it's clearly laid out and easy to read. ...there are enough tidbits to titillate even the most jaded veteran of discographies. I am profoundly grateful to Tony Russell (and his associates) for compiling Country Music Records: A Discography, 1912-1942 and to Oxford University Press for its publication. It is no surprise that my copy is already showing signs of wear less than six months after its publication. Obviously this book is unreservedly recommended and will no doubt recieve high praise and will win numerous awards--accolades that it richly deserves." --American Music "This volume has turned out to be mightily impressive, beyond even what aficionados could possibly have hoped for.

I only wish that this collection had been available when I began research on my book, Country Music, USA, back in the early 1960s. My work would be greatly improved if the discographical history of country music had been available at that time. Thankfully, future students of American vernacular music will profit tremendously from this fine and meticulously documented study. When one views the results of Russell's labors, we can see why it has taken him so many years to finish. It is a first-class piece of scholarship and, as far as I can tell, every known 'hillbilly' recording has been included. The wait, though long, has been worth it."--Bill C. Malone, author of Country Music, U.S.A. and 'Don't Get Above Your Raisin': Country Music and the Southern Working Class "Tony Russell's Country Music Records is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and collectors interested in American music.
