	Country Standard Time: Honky Tonk. Portraits of Country Music, 1972-1981
		And all the while, he took pictures that document the country music culture of the time, and one particularly enduring aspect of it: the peculiar and immediate relationship that exists between country artists and their fans.
		The pictures of country music's most famous duets, for example - Porter and Dolly, George and Tammy, Conway and Loretta - are placed on facing pages.
		It's an overstatement to say that it is entirely gone; vestiges of it can still be found at remaining country music parks, at county fairs, in the still-thriving bluegrass festival scene and elsewhere.

	pw: philadelphia weekly online
		It would be a stretch of Dolly-sized proportions to call Philadelphia a country music town.
		Forced to apply a handle to our musical roots, we'd likely define ourselves as soulful, an RandB mecca, a city whose musical legacy is rooted in sounds that work their way up from the streets.
		Horenstein, whose fl-and-white portraits of country legends will be exhibited at the Print Center through Aug. 21, believes cities provide natural fan bases for the music he's documented.

	CONCERTINA.net - English Country Music -- A Personal View
		The name 'English Country Music' first appeared as the title of an LP recorded by Bill Leader in Shipdham, Norfolk in August 1962 and released by Reg Hall and Bob Davenport in September 1965.
		There was, and still is, great music in other parts of England as well, most notably Bob Cann, all round entertainer and spectacular melodeon player from Dartmoor in Devon, or Willy Atkinson (mouth organ) from Alnwick in the North East and these musicians soon came to a wider audience at Festivals and through LP releases.
		It should be clear from all of this that English Country Music is functional dance music and that this explains the firm rhythm and lack of ornamentation which are intended to help the dancers.

	Blogcritics.org: "We've got both kinds of music: country and western!"
		Country music has its share of wild characters, but old-fashioned, clean-cut, suit-and-tie-wearing Eddie Stubbs isn't one of them.
		For a radio disc jockey faced with media conglomeration, target audiences and shrunken playlists, filling commercial and even public airwaves with classic country -- music from its golden era of the 1940s, '50s and '60s -- is a tall order.
		There is wide agreement in the country music world that no one is as knowledgeable about the music as Eddie Stubbs.

		His gorgeous fl-and-white prints cover a golden age of country (1972 to 1981) and include candid photos of Hank Williams Jr., Tammy Wynette, Hillbilly Tex (pictured) and White Stripes-muse Loretta Lynn.
		"In those days, country musicians didn't want to be rock stars and they were much more appreciative of their fans and the press, and less jaded," Horenstein says.
		Even bad country music of the '70s had a charm and individuality, though this didn't always make it easy to listen to."
