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.

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.
