He is the author of the 1968 book Country Music, U.S.A., the first definitive academic history of country music.^[1] The third revised edition appeared in 2010 (see below). Malone is Professor Emeritus of History at Tulane University and now resides in Madison, Wisconsin.^[2]

Biography

Malone was born on a cotton-growing tenant farm 20 miles west of Tyler, Texas in 1934 and grew up with music as "a constant companion".^[3] After studying at community college, he enrolled in the University of Texas in 1956 and became a well-known singer in the Austin area, due in part to his encyclopedic repertoire of "hillbilly" songs he learned growing up.^[3] He performed at Threadgill's beer joint in Austin and completed his Master's degree.^[3] He was pleased when his faculty advisor suggested he write his doctoral dissertation on something he loved: "hillbilly", i.e., country, music.^[3] His 1965 dissertation was published in 1968 as Country Music, U.S.A.^[3]

Malone hosts a weekly radio show, Back to the Country, on WORT–FM community radio in Madison, and performs country music with his wife, Bobbie Malone, playing mandolin and guitar.

Honours

Malone was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1984 to assist his research in U.S. history.^[4] In 2008, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for American Music.^[5]
