Description
Nothing typifies the national pride of the Americans as much as their determination to celebrate in song even the most mundane of their towns and cities. In this book, Mick Brown sets out on a musical journey from coast to coast to find out what such places as Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Memphis, Phoenix, El Paso, Nashville and St Louis are really like and how the myth that we are so familiar with differs from the reality. He also explores what they tell us about America today. Mick Brown is a journalist and author of "Richard Branson: a Biography".
