Summary note
Right by Her Roots is a thorough and thoughtful exploration of the bodies of work of eight groundbreaking artists who acknowledge, in their songs and in their lives, their relationships to their rootsùmusical, geographical, familial, and cultural. Jewly Hight, a highly regarded and spiritually savvy music writer, delves into the journeys and styles of eight of the most distinctive voices in Americana music: Lucinda Williams, Julie Miller, Victoria Williams, Michelle Shocked, Mary Gauthier, Ruthie Foster, Elizabeth Cook, and Abigail Washburn. In so doing, Hight proves there is much to be gained from digging into the oeuvres of singers and songwriters who put something of themselves (and their pursuits of meaning) into their music. Through vivid original interviews and perceptive analysis of their spirits, sounds, and styles, she unearths rich insights into what animates their work and how they view and experience the world. --Book Jacket.
