"A thoughtful and important book." --Rosanne Cash "An entertaining study of the heart of American roots music." --Library Journal "Howard skillfully documents a new era of Kentucky roots music. His book deserves a place in the history of American song." --Courier-Journal "A revelatory work." --Studs Terkel "Silas House and Jason Kyle Howard know how to write, but more importantly, they know how to listen. Their book is filled with the powerful, passionate and authentic voices of men and women who share their heritage, and their outrage. My hope is that others will listen to these voices as well." --Steven V. Roberts, author of Cokie: A Life Well Lived, My Father's Houses and co-author of the New York Times bestseller From This Day Forward “Something’s Rising is a humble call to those who believe that man is capable of all things.” --The Washington Times "In this powerful volume, the authors give voice to people trying to save their mining towns." --Southern Living |
