From the dust jacket flap notes: “ A celebration of America and the music that shaped its history, by Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham and Grammy Award winner Tim McGraw. Through all the years of strife and triumph, America has been shaped not just by our elected leaders and our formal politics but also by our music - by the lyrics, performers, and instrumentals that have helped to carry us through the dark days and to celebrate the bright ones. From the “ Star Spangled Banner” to “ Born in the U.S.A.,” Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw take readers on a moving and insightful journey through eras in American history and the songs and performers that inspired us. Meacham chronicles our history, exploring the stories behind the songs, and Tim McGraw reflects on them as an artist and performer. Their perspectives combine to create a unique view of the role music has played in uniting and shaping a nation.” Book’s been stored in a smoke free home with two short haired pets.
