		Country music grew out of American Southern folk music, both Appalachian and blues, and old-time country was simple and folky, with just guitars and fiddles.
		As the genre progressed, old time music evolved into the rhythmic guitar-and-fiddle driven traditional country that became the foundation of modern country music, from honky tonk and Western Swing to the pop-oriented Countrypolitan and rock-inflected Bakersfield Sound.
		Bobby Bare was a restless artist, pushing country music forward in the '60s by incorporating elements of folk and rock in equal measures on his recordings for RCA.

	TIME Magazine: Country Music Archive Collection
		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.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Alternative Country Music
		Alternative country, also referred to as "Americana," "Cow-punk," "Y'alternative," "No Depression," and "Insurgent Country," is a catch-all term describing a diverse musical genre that combines forms of traditional country music, such as twang, swing, rockabilly, and bluegrass, with the ethos and sound of punk rock.
		While a definition of "alt.country" may be difficult to pin down, what it is not remains clear: it is not the "Hot Country" music of commercial Nashville, which is seen as homogenous and lacking a sense of tradition.
		After Parsons' death in 1973, Harris went on to forge her own successful career, keeping his musical memory alive while experimenting in the tradition of her mentor with albums from the bluegrass Roses in the Snow to the alternative-influenced Wrecking Ball.

		A lot of country stars used to sing "covers" of songs originally performed by others, and the results were usually not as good.
		I originally bought both LP records containing the music on this CD, and they are two of my most treasured records of Jerry Lee's country period, which I think is his best genre.
		I think he has more musical talent than any other performer of his generation and could have been greater than Elvis had he not made a few PR mistakes or if Elvis had not been so sexy looking to the women.

		Gram Parsons is one of those rare artists whose influence on music vastly exceeds his record sales.
		Even so, today's country traditionalists and alt.country rockers alike trace their roots to Parsons and his soulful fusion of country, rock, and R&B. Just six months before he died of a drug overdose, Parsons and his band performed an on-air radio concert to promote his then-current album, GP.
		That concert, subsequently released as LIVE 1973, captures Parsons and his band in all their ragged glory.

		She became a professional country singer in the 1950s, and went on to be one of the first to "cross over" to a pop audience.
		Cline sang country songs with a difference: her voice had a hearty tone, rich with the feeling of the blues, the sound of jazz vocalists and what Frank Sinatra referred to as "saloon singers." She mixed these elements with the sounds of the Ozarks and the rural hills.
		Witness the throaty swagger and witty swing of "Too Many Secrets" and the mournful waltz "A Church, A Courtroom and Goodbye"--blues, pop, country and jazz are absorbed into Cline's vocal approach until the sound is entirely unique.
