Baylen Leonard鈥檚 Beginner鈥檚 Guide to Country

For country novices everywhere Tennessee native and lifelong country fan Baylen Leonard gives the essential introduction to country music.

For country novices everywhere, Tennessee native and lifelong country fan Baylen Leonard gives the essential introduction to country music: from mainstream crossover to old time, Red Dirt country to the California Sound, from Bluegrass to Honky-Tonk and from Big Sky Country to Mountain music.

We take a musical journey from the dirty back roads to the long stretches of highway, from the mountains to sea and back again, coast to coast, exploring all the different types of music that make Country what it is today - featuring music from some of the biggest stars in Country music from today and yesterday.
