		Country has achieved its new luster without abandoning its heritage: a heritage so stubbornly rooted in storytelling and simple melody that it has never quite left behind the farm in Poor Valley, Va., where a moody lumberman named A.P. Carter and his clan picked up guitars seven decades ago and invented the Carter Scratch.
		Country is the nation's most popular music format, with the largest number of radio stations and fans all over.
		Hank, ne Hiram, Williams made what is widely considered to be the loveliest country music recorded in the '40s and early '50s, and had an unmatched ability to glory in sin on one song, repent on the next and carry off both with conviction and hangdog cool.

	BMI & Country Music History
		While the recording of Country music is said to have begun when Fiddlin' John Carson laid down his version of "Little Old Log Cabin Down The Lane" for the Okeh label in 1923, the genre achieved mass-market appeal with the emergence of Nashville as the capital of Country music.

	Twang Is Not a Color - Black Artists in Country Music
		However, in implying that fl is an image white country music audiences cannot embrace, the industry has managed not only to misread its audience and lose potential new stars, but to negate its own history.
		In order to prove they belong in country music, male artists often feel they must adhere to the cowboy look as presently defined by such artists as George Strait, Mark Chesnutt, Alan Jackson, etc. This approach is probably sound and may even be critical.
		Black artists have often chosen to compose and present songs that are, stylistically, of the honky-tonk sub-genre of country music, the sub-genre labeled as "traditional country" in today’s country music field.

	Honky Tonks, Hymns, & the Blues
		The banjo and fiddle were the primary voices of early American roots music; the guitar was a plaything of the rich and elite.
		From its arrival in this country and its early usage as a parlor instrument, the guitar was adopted by both fl and white, rural, working-class musicians.
		Acoustic guitar had a more limited role in traditional country music until Doc Watson rewrote the book, building on the elegant but much simpler earlier styles of Maybelle Carter, The Delmore Brothers, and Riley Puckett to fire off blazing lead lines as intricate and exciting as the hottest bluegrass fiddle or mandolin breaks.

	For Music Boulevard
		Why underlay so much of this, what was responsible for some of the most enduring, as well as some of the most ephemeral, music of this century was that country music still included a significant youth, specifically teen, audience.
		Despite historical views that emphasize cheating, drinking, and divorcing songs, the pre-Elvis 1950s produced a lot of country classics aimed at the kids before rockabilly gave these southern youth a music of their own.
		Young reportedly has grown embittered at a country music industry that he feels abandoned him after a twenty-year run as an important artist.

	CONCERTINA.net - English Country Music -- A Personal View
		The name 'English Country Music' first appeared as the title of an LP recorded by Bill Leader in Shipdham, Norfolk in August 1962 and released by Reg Hall and Bob Davenport in September 1965.
		There was, and still is, great music in other parts of England as well, most notably Bob Cann, all round entertainer and spectacular melodeon player from Dartmoor in Devon, or Willy Atkinson (mouth organ) from Alnwick in the North East and these musicians soon came to a wider audience at Festivals and through LP releases.
		It should be clear from all of this that English Country Music is functional dance music and that this explains the firm rhythm and lack of ornamentation which are intended to help the dancers.

		Death also lurked in the country great's catalogue; that was especially true during his final decade, when he resuscitated his flat-lined career by releasing four acclaimed albums under the guidance of iconoclastic rap and rock producer Rick Rubin.

	Kitty Wells Discography: Slipcue E-Zine
		Her breakout hit was the 1952 proto-feminist classic, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," a bolt from the blue that came in reply to Hank Thompson's scornful "Wild Side Of Life," a song that blamed women as temptresses who lured men into a life of sin.
		Like many of the hillbilly stars of her generation, Wells was unceremoniously dropped in the early 'Seventies by the MCA label (formerly Decca Records) and her career, which had been faltering for several years, more or less came to an end.
		Wells certainly contributed her fair share to the world of country gospel music, and this disc is a nice 10-song sampling of that material.
