	BBC - Black Country Uncovered - What and where is the Black Country?
		The Black Country gained its name in the mid nineteenth century due to the smoke from the many thousands of ironworking foundries and forges plus also the working of the shallow and 30ft thick coal seams.
		To traditionalists the Black Country is the area where the 30ft coal seam comes to the surface - so West Bromwich, Oldbury, Blackheath, Cradley Heath, Old Hill, Bilston, Dudley, Tipton, Wednesfield and parts of Halesowen, Wednesbury and Walsall but not Wolverhampton, Stourbridge and Smethwick or what used to be known as Warley.
		Today the Black Country is described as most of the four Metropolitan District Council areas of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton and the term is used as a marketing tool to sell and promote the West Midlands region to the north of Birmingham.

	Black Country Music: Crossing Country
		Blacks sang the same religious musics as whites, most of it written by Methodist ministers from England and brought to this country by missionaries.
		Though fls were simultaneously developing their own music- the blues- at the time, this disc leaves no doubt that many fls and whites were then playing the same music.
		While the first disc shows fls and whites sometimes sharing songs and styles, the second one presents soul singers putting their own horn-laden sound to tunes that were first done with fiddlers and pedal steels.

	Definitions of Style - Country Music
		Generally regarded exclusively as the music of white southerners (and often called "the white man's blues"), country music has in fact been deeply influenced by African Americans, who have contributed and listened to country music from its origins to the present day.
		Blacks and whites in America have exchanged musical ideas since the first Africans arrived in the seventeenth century, and this exchange occurred in both religious and secular music.
		Jimmie Rodgers, known as "the father of country music," was greatly influenced by the music of fl railroad workers and fl musicians with whom he played in medicine shows.

	Black Country
		The Black Country is not a county or a precisely defined region in England.
		The Black in Black Country has its origins in the coal and mining waste, of course, that was visible in the area as well as the general scarring of the landscape produced by the iron and allied industries that flourished in the area.
		In modern terms, the Black Country, following 1966 and 1974 local government re-organisations, may be defined by some as the area occupied by the Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.

	Music: Black Country (Newcity Chicago . 04-27-98)
		Smith (above), who years ago used to play upright bass with a country band in Arizona, likes to chant his lyrics like the words are just entering his cranium for the first time, with no regard to where these words fall rhythmically in the arrangement.
		On "Mother You Say You Don't Like the Black Colors" and "Is He White or Is He Black?" Smith decides to use stock country-and-western rhythm, and the results, though peculiar, would have been far more convincing on the fl country box set than the Supremes' track.
		To call it, he was a fl guy in his mid-sixties dressed as the Lone Ranger, twirling pistols in the air, dancing with the ladies, and singing the only four songs that he knew (three of them by Muddy Waters).
