Emily Yahr, a reporter for The Washington Post, has a new book out: TAYLOR SWIFT: THE DEBUT YEARS. It looks closely at the part of Swift's career she spent in country music. Nashville has always felt a little protective of that genre, and this city knows its business better than anyone. A reporter writing a whole, careful book about one artist's country years is exactly the kind of attention the genre's hometown appreciates. It belongs on the shelf right next to the records.
