- Double-weighted statement
- This major (180,000-word) prize-winning book on Artists and Repertoire personnel in the early US recording industry is based on eight years of archival research in dozens of US archives and on extraordinarily extensive engagement with the voluminous popular (and often ephemeral) as well as scholarly literature on US roots music and the early record business. A genuine example of international scholarly collaboration, Ward wrote the first draft of seven of the eight chapters and – in defiance of alphabetical logic – is named first on the publication to reflect that he was ‘first among equals’ on this pioneering research project.
