AllenNotesBibliographyIndex Review Amid yet another conference realignment saga, Tipton offers a vibrant, timely reminder of how the SECs boisterous fight songs and rally cries remain steeped in a regional specificity comprised of far more than the pageantry, precision, and patriarchy of Southern football culture."—Courtney M. Cox, co-director of The Sound of Victory: Music, Sport, and Society "From Dixie to Rocky Top is the book about Southeastern Conference football that you never knew you needed. Carrie Tiptons examination of the evolution of the music sung and played at football games, and which became an integral part of college culture, is eye opening history. As she demonstrates, this genre of music was not always benign. "Dixie," for example, was both an expression of the Lost Cause and a bulwark to racial inclusivity. The books significance is tied to the fact that Tipton takes popular music seriously. From minstrelsy to ragtime and beyond, music derived from popular culture connected people to one another and to the colleges and football teams she writes about. From Dixie to Rocky Top is also accessible and entertaining, so it surely will find an audience with the larger public, as well as a place in college classrooms."—Karen L. Cox, author of Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture "Tipton has written a book that challenges accepted stories, complicates received wisdom, and situates an important repertoire within US popular culture of the last century or more."—Travis D.
