A kaleidoscope of rhinestones, flashy cars, boots, and guitars, Vinyl Hayride proudly exhibits the classic album covers that define country music's look and style. From the cartoon illustrations of the 1940s to the glamour shots of the 1980s, this is a one-of-a-kind collection of more than 250 classic album covers. Author Paul Kingsbury painstakingly unearthed the best from deep in the vaults of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, home to the world's most complete country music record collection. A visual history of the genre, Vinyl Hayride revels in both the charm and the humor inherent in the country music attitude. It's album-sized and heavy on the twang - in other words, a must-have for fans of classic album graphics, country music, and hillbilly style.

(Book). Patsy Cline's expressive voice and magnetic stage presence took her from the honky-tonks of her native Winchester, Virginia, to the Grand Ole Opry, network television, Carnegie Hall, and Las Vegas. A pioneer of the genre-crossing Nashville Sound in the early 1960s, she won new audiences for country music with crossover hits such as "I Fall to Pieces," "Crazy," and "She's Got You." Though she died at age thirty in a plane crash on March 5, 1963, her music continues to inspire new generations of fans and artists across the musical spectrum, from Martina McBride and Reba McEntire to Diana Krall and Norah Jones. With a foreword by Rosanne Cash and an essay by noted country music authority Paul Kingsbury, Patsy Cline: Crazy for Loving You explores Cline's importance "as a brilliant singer, as a role model for women in the music business, and as a compelling story of personal tragedy and artistic triumph." Lavishly illustrated, this book offers more than 100 photos many of them previously unpublished depicting Cline on and off the stage, and including stage wear, her own hand-drawn costume designs, jewelry, and other personal effects. Memories from family members, friends, and musical colleagues provide additional insights into the life and tragically brief career of one of American music's most iconic figures.

Psychoanalytic Geographies

Psychoanalytic Geographies is a unique, path-breaking volume and a core text for anyone seeking to grasp how psychoanalysis helps us understand fundamental geographical questions, and how geographical understandings can offer new ways of thinking psychoanalytically. Elaborating on a variety of psychoanalytic approaches that embrace geographical imaginations and a commitment toward spatial thinking, this book demonstrates the breadth, depth, and vitality of cutting edge work in psychoanalytic geographies and presents readers with as wide a set of options as possible for taking psychoanalysis forward in their own work. It covers a wide range of themes and perspectives in terms of theoretical approaches such as Freudian, Lacanian, Kristevan, and Irigarayian; conceptual issues such as space, power, identity, culture, political economy, colonialism, ethics, and aesthetics; disciplinary insights including Geography, English, Sexuality Studies, and History of Science; as well as empirical contexts such as the reception of psychoanalysis in early twentieth century England, psychoanalytic geographies of violence and creativity in a small Mexican city, visual cultures of second-generation Iranian artists living in Los Angeles, and the hysterical underpinnings of climate change scepticism.
