Grab your cowboy hat, shine up your boots and step inside a whole world of heart and heartbreak with this fully illustrated, alphabetical guide to the most beloved music around.

From Willie Nelson to Lainey Wilson; from 'I Walk The Line' to '9 to 5'; and from cowboy hats to chaps, country is much more than a musical genre. It's fashion, it's icons, it's sayings - it's a way of life! Celebrate all it has to offer in this complete guide, written by country music obsessive and Editor-in-Chief of Country Now Lauren Black.

With over a hundred entries that include the most celebrated names and the often overlooked ones, iconic stages, devoted fandoms, trendsetting fashion, TV shows, and even a much-adored but very battered truck, this is your backstage pass to the very soul of all things country.

So grab your cowboy hat, pull up your chaps, crank up Dolly and settle in for the ride!

'Country music is the heartbeat of American music, and its soul comprises a long, complex, and storied history. COUNTRY MUSIC FOREVER does a great job of giving readers a glimpse of that story in an easily digestible and fun way. I'm honored to be included, and thrilled that this exists to bring new fans into our community, and deepen longtime fans' relationship to our artform."
Randy Travis
