By Colin Escott
Hardcover, 250 pages ($24.99)

With more than 200 photos and the running narrative of performers past and present, this sweeping history is a must for any country fan who’d like to uncover the roots, re-live the milestones and meet the stars of the world’s longest-running radio show. Even if you can’t pick a lick, you’ll come away with a sense of what it feels like to be a part of this special, one-of-a-kind musical family that superstar Garth Brooks has called “the pinnacle of what I do.”
