	2003 in country music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		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.

	Bush, shame and the Dixie Chicks - Salon
		It's common knowledge how conservative the country music industry is: The bulk (though not all) of country music is about home and hearth and heartache, and particularly given how flat sales of recorded music are these days, the industry has a lot riding on that image.
		Which is exactly why Maines' comment -- one she made, incidentally, in a country whose citizens are suffering a collective crisis of conscience thanks to events our president set in motion -- stands as the boldest thing anyone in the entertainment industry has said since the war flap began.
		Country music, despite what its detractors will tell you, is filled with nuance.

	The PLAY Lists >> Country Music 2003
		With the demise of Country Music and its critics' poll, the alt-country magazine No Depression and the selections made by contributors to Country Music Today became the primary resources for putting this listing together, and a decided tilt in the alt-country/Americana direction was the inevitable result.
		This is a good thing as far as I'm concerned because it moves the focus off the manufactured stars of country music and the conservative approach they take to music-making.
		Rodney Crowell—thanks to his spot on the Country Weekly 100 greatest albums listing—just edged Lucinda Williams to heads this PLAY List, but the first few places are pretty tightly packed with country icon Emmylou Harris and The Jayhawks (who topped the No Depression poll) right on her tail.

		Her career lasted less than a year in the early 1920s, and her story fell into obscurity — with most historians believing she was dead long before she was — until Wolfe found her in Florida and corresponded with her during the 1970s.
		For instance, a woman was expected to travel with her father, husband or a father figure while she was on the road, and a female performer, especially one who was a good musician, could never upstage a male with her talent.
		The editors previously published three Country Music Annuals with an eclectic assortment of works, but decided to rename their annual collection and focus on a thematically oriented series each year.
