Abstract:
Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Dickens comments generously on each song, revealing her strong personality... A fine profile of a roots musician who has been a pioneering woman in bluegrass as well as the foremost American protest singer of the later twentieth century."--Booklist "Inspiring... highly readable and ultimately unforgettable."--Bluegrass Now "[This] volume does a marvelous job of capturing the essence of Hazel."--Sing Out "Dickens' lyrics and thoughts on the likes of 'Mama's Hand,' 'It's Hard to Tell the Singer From the Song' and the book's title song blend the personal and the political in remarkable ways, and they're the heart of this substantial story."--American Songwriter "Working Girl Blues puts the spotlight on a magnificent performer whose accomplishments and talents have always been valued by the country, bluegrass and folk audiences, but now hopefully will get the same acclaim from the mainstream as well."--Nashville City Paper "This is an important study of a seminal country performer and songwriter. Highly recommended."--Choice "Hazel Dickens is an icon, and it is about time a book-length biography was published about her... A treat for friends and fans."--Goldenseal "A solid and readable account of a career that crossed many boundaries and defied expectations."--Journal of Folklore Research Read more...
