Same Church, Different Pews

How Music Made Brothers of J. Robert Bradley and Charles Faulkner Bryan

A biography of two remarkable musicians framed by a largely forgotten cultural history. A uniquely American story that makes a statement about race relations, the American South, and the transformative power of music. An unpublished manuscript by Laura E. Clemons.
