Russell, Tony. Country Music Records: A Discography, 1921-1942. New York: Oxford, 2004.
-
A recording history of country music record and discography from 1921-1942. Documents recordings that were designed to be sold principally to a market identified by sellers as largely white Southern rural/small town dwellers.
-
Includes a great many entries for country music records made between 1921 and 1942, but certainly not comprehensive. Includes some country music that overlaps into the popular genre.
-
Organized into several sections, the main one being a large list of country music records, arranged alphabetically by the name of the artist or group. Other sections contain supplementary information on using the book such as record label histories, a user's guide, abbreviations, discography, bibliography, an index to performers, and an index to titles. Entries consist of two basic formats: entries in the discography or explanatory entries. Each entry in the discography contains the name of the artist, instrumentation, location and date of recording, matrix numbers, take numbers and letters, title of recording, issue number, and notes. Other explanatory entries either a/ reveal artists of groups concealed by pseudonyms b/ cross-refer readers to other entries or c/ state that an artist or group has been judged to be outside the scope of this work and explain why.
