Fascinated by the collision of country and soul music in the Southern
states, Hoskyns and photographer Muir MacKean set out on a journey
through the American South to explore the phenomenon of primarily black
singers and primarily white musicians joining forces in the 1960s to
create musical magic in an era of racial tension. From Memphis to Muscle
Shoals to Nashville, they sat down with dozens of the architects of
what's come to be known as Country Soul to capture a story that is as
inspiring as it is historically important.
