Finally!
The definitive TRUTH to the opinion everyone has—Who is THE Mount Rushmore of Country Music?
This book doesn’t chase trends or popularity. Through a masterfully sculpted metaphor, Country Music historian Brian Crist unveils the authentic monument to Traditional Country Music—built on the same enduring principles as the original Mount Rushmore:
Founding, Expansion, Development, and Preservation.
What sets this work apart is its clever and unprecedented framework—a disciplined application of historical criteria that cuts through personal bias and fan emotion. By treating Country Music’s evolution as a sculpting process, the author transforms opinion into evidence, metaphor into monument, and legacy into granite.
