Country Editorial Review
"John Duffey's Bluegrass Life" is a must-read for any fan of John Duffy and bluegrass music. The book is not a traditional biography, but rather a collection of interviews and reminiscences from those who knew and worked with Duffy. It provides an in-depth look into his life and his significant contributions to the bluegrass genre. One of the standout aspects of the book is its ability to dispel the negative portrayal of Duffy by Ralph Stanley in his autobiography. This book offers a fresh perspective and reveals the true character and innovativeness of John Duffy. Readers have praised the book for its engaging writing style and exhaustive research. However, some have mentioned that the book could have been edited down to a shorter length, as it becomes somewhat repetitious at times. The book also includes insights into how Duffy played a pivotal role in popularizing bluegrass music, making it transition from a regional niche form to a contemporary style. While some readers found the inclusion of "sub-chapters" from old friends and colleagues towards the end of the book to be a bit disjointed, others appreciated the insider perspective they provided. In summary, "John Duffey's Bluegrass Life" offers a comprehensive and engaging look into the life of a bluegrass legend. It is a must-have for fans of John Duffy and enthusiasts of bluegrass music.
