About this title

Review:

This engaging biography brims with fresh insights about southern culture and its relationship to American music. Eskew reveals Johnny Mercer as a carrier of the South's interracial culture to the nation and the world. This book is the most original and carefully documented contribution I have seen to understanding the role of a creative southerner in the global culture. Readers will appreciate Eskew's re-creation of Mercer's world that intersected with so many seminal entertainment figures. It is altogether successful in sketching the regional context that produced Mercer's music.--Charles Reagan Wilson "Editor-in-chief of "The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture " "
