- Peter Cooper, The Tennessean
- “Watermelon Wine is the first great and inspiring book I ever read about Nashville music-makers.”
- James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
- “Now published in a 25th anniversary edition including a ""listener's guide to country music,"" Watermelon Wine: Remembering the Golden Years of Country Music is a straightforward examination of the country music tradition and the passions that fuel it by award-winning journalist and author Frye Gaillard. Chapters address diverse subsets of the genre from blues country to gospel country, the legacy of Johnny Cash, the impact of commercialism on country music creativity, and much more. A solid, hands-on assessment of one of America's most enduring traditions, once considered vulgar and crude but lately earning a respectable place in people's hearts for its raw emotion and vitality.”
