That Half-Barbaric Twang: THE BANJO IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE (Music in American Life) ReviewThe author does an excellent job of outlining the social history of the banjo in America, but in the end this is a merely academic critique of banjo culture(s), which she skewers like dead butterflies in a case. It's not clear if the author likes banjo music or even listened to much of it. The author is critical of both those who would describe banjo music as "that half-barbaric twang" as well as anyone who actually plays the darned thing. The author's elitism and ivory tower perspective can be forgiven because of the many interesting historical details she provides. It will take another person, probably someone without a PhD, to reassemble the details in a meaningful way for those of us who simply love the sound and the music for what it is.That Half-Barbaric Twang: THE BANJO IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE (Music in American Life) Overview
