Allows us to conceive of 'Southern music' as an expression of the Southern diaspora, and thereby opens up new ways to think about Mercer and about the broader landscape of American music.
--Gavin James Campbell "author of Music and the Making of a New South "Johnny Mercer, one of Georgia's--no, one of America's--greatest natural resources, is astutely celebrated by this valuable addition to his growing bibliography.
--Stanley Booth "author of The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones "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 ""About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
