Pickin' on Peachtree
But for a few twists of fate, Atlanta could have grown to be the recording center that Nashville is today.

Wilson, and a host of genre painters (on visuality), the book reveals how the difficult tasks of representing African Americans-both enslaved and free-in imaginative expression was part of a larger dilemma concerning representative democracy itself.
