"The ABC Book of Australian Country Music" by Jim Haynes

Published in 2009 by ABC Books

Review by Max Ellis

Sub titled "the ultimate guide to country music in Australia", this beautifully produced book certainly provides the most comprehensive coverage of the genre on the market today.

Written and compiled by industry stalwart Jim Haynes, the big volume contains a huge list of contemporary country music artists, each with an extensive up-to-date bio and most with a current picture.

There is also information and history about the Golden Guitar Awards, the College of Country Music, major festivals and Australian country music generally.

Jim has dedicated his book to "two wonderful blokes, Slim and Smoky".

I'm sure they would be proud to see the industry they nurtured for so long showcased in such an entertaining and professional manner.
