Wherever you are, you don't have to go far in the United States to find world-class music museums and historical sites. Whether in major cities like Nashville, Detroit, and New Orleans or less familiar locales like Hibbing, Minnesota (the birthplace of Bob Dylan) or Bozeman, Montana (home of the Gibson Guitar Company), the riches of the nation's musical heritage are available to everyone from newbie tourists to veteran road-trippers. Tangled Roots is the first guidebook of its kind, focused on the best music museums and other points of interest between the Atlantic and the Pacific. In addition to practical information it provides fascinating background on the history, culture, geography, and politics of the United States, and covers everything from major destinations like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to festivals, signature instrument shops, driving and walking tours, and more.
