		Downhome musical magic prevails when Hillbilly IDOL turns the key and starts their well oiled machine rolling smoothly down the two-lane fltop.

	australian country and hillbilly yodel
		The country music industry today is preoccupied with `throwing off the hick image' and emphasising the broad appeal of the genre, and to many current propagandists for Australian country music yodelling is an aspect of both the history and current state of the music which condemns them to commercial unacceptability.
		Not only was their main interest the new hillbilly music, but all were trying to perform it, casually in private or in public, and many were writing songs in the idiom.
		The musical and social correlates of the yodel were a strict diatonicism, and an accompanying association with an outdoor romanticism and rural nostalgia.

	Smile When You Call Me a Hillbilly: Country Music's Struggle for Respectability, 1939-1954 Alabama Review - Find ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As the music of rural, working-class white southerners, hillbilly music (later known as "country") struggled in the 1940s and early 1950s to shed negative images associated with its performers and fans.
		Drawn to regional folk music that depicted the harshness of daily life in Depression-era America, rural, working-class white southerners were especially attracted to songs with graphic imagery and lyrical themes of deprivation, loneliness, violence, and tragedy.
		Popular music's wartime shift from big bands to crooners, the rise of sentimental and novelty songs, southern urbanization, and postwar economic prosperity contributed to the appeal of country pop artists such as Red Foley and Eddy Arnold.

	The Meaning of My Avant-Garde Hillbilly and Blues Music
		I was born in Greensboro, NC in 1940. All of my formal education in music was in European classical music. The instrument I studied was the violin. Until mid-1961, I was a composer of “modern” music of the post-Cage generation.
		In the acoustic field too, Europe has discovered a music characterized by tonality with a profound, coherent, and purposeful structure, like that of architecture or painting, which is therefore not just another sort of music, but can lay special claim to universal validity.
		If comparing ethnic music with “educated” or “scientific” music means comparing Robert Johnson or Buddy Guy or Pran Nath with academic tone-play, we must judge academic tone-play to be abominably impoverished and dehumanized. This judgment stands even if the academic tone-play drones or has a beat or borrows other superficial aspects from ethnic music.

	echo - March 2004 - Hillbilly History
		Harkins said his interest in studying the hillbilly stemmed from comic strips, a medium in which the hillbilly is a favorite subject.
		The hillbilly image experienced a rebirth in the 1960s, driven primarily by the popular sitcom, “The Beverly Hillbillies.” In contrast to the pure-heartedness and generosity of Jed and the rest of the Clampett clan, the 1972 film “Deliverance” portrayed hillbillies as territorial and violent.
		He said this is an important point to make when discussing the hillbilly because people tend to believe in the image as a reality rather than as a stereotype, something that does not occur with cultural images of other ethnic groups.

	Hillbilly music trendy
		Bartley, one of the most versatile guitarists anywhere in folk music (he regularly works as accompanist for ‘60s legend Tom Paxton), sat cross-legged on a straight-back chair, picking with a few graying boomers and eager, young musicians who leaned over to catch every bending note, nuance, and lick.
		That social way of experiencing music is the catnip for the mostly young crowd.
		The music heard here is a far country holler from the arch Southern sound that puts so many Northerners off bluegrass.

	Center for Popular Music
		Both my perspective as a folklorist and my research in early country ("hillbilly") music and blues had made me keenly aware that interplay between oral and commercial traditions is a historical constant, and that one must understand popular traditions in order fully to comprehend folk traditions—and vice versa.
		From historical musicology comes the recognition that popular music is not confined to contemporary styles, but rather that popular music of one form or another has always occupied a significant place in American cultural history.
		From communications comes the recognition that popular music must be studied within the framework of the commercial and technological factors that shape its development.

	Race/Music: "Corrine Corrina" and the Excluded Middle (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Henderson was a renowned fiddler, whose musical taste and technique appears to have been shaped by his long-standing and relatively intimate interaction with whites.
		The relative prosperity and stability of the Chatmon clan was in large part based upon carefully husbanded musical skills, and a cosmopolitan, incorporative approach to music-making which allowed them to weave a set of socioeconomic relationships that crossed the color line (echoing, though not reproducing exactly, their recognized genealogical links to local white families).
		Musically speaking, we have entered an alternative universe: a moderate bolero tempo, with ‘plinky’ arpeggiated guitar chords (dripping with tremolo), angelic vocal pads, maracas and woodblock (sonic icons of Latin romance), and dramatic soli scoring for string orchestra, bathed in studio reverb.

	Blue Ridge Country: Bristol, The Real Home of Country Music? Jimmie Rodgers & Carter Family
		Nobody was calling it "country music." But by 1927, recording engineers for a handful of labels were scrambling to record "hillbilly music," often conducting field recording sessions.
		Before Peer discovered the Carters and Rodgers in Bristol, "hillbilly music" recordings -- the sounds of fiddle players and performers of string-band music -- existed in what you might simply call country music in embryonic form.
		Behind her is Clinch Mountain, which rises to about 3,000 feet behind the Carter Fold, a music barn she built in 1976 with her brother Joe.

	Cincinnati CityBeat : 11/24/2004 : Locals Only: Killing With Coolness
		Hillbilly music became known as Rockabilly over the years because -- according to "popular" opinion -- calling anything "hillbilly" lowered its cool quotient and IQ in one fell swoop.
		Before Hillbilly had some sort of nasty connotation -- you know, 'redneck,' that sort of thing -- it was a style of music.
		You could also technically call them "retro" because their look (hair slicked back on the sides, flat on top, '50s-styled clothing) and the music they play is based in another era.

		Opening with the title cut, an infectious romp that demands your attention, and ending on a high note with a love song, "Since I Don't Have You," crafted by Stuart and another tragically overlooked supernova, Mark Collie, this is one heck of an album.

	Early Commercial Country (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Prior to 1923, "country" music was not recognized as a distinct music genre.
		American popular music was urban-oriented, with marketing directed toward areas of greatest accesibility and highest population density, and (presumably, at least) people with the most disposable income.
		The issue of "authenticity" in early country music: was hillbilly music "constructed" by the radio and recording industries, or did it merely reflect the rustic music of the time?

	Oxford University Press: Hillbilly: Anthony Harkins
		Spanning film, literature, and the entire expanse of American popular culture, from D. Griffith to hillbilly music to the Internet, Harkins illustrates how the image of the hillbilly has consistently served as both a marker of social derision and regional pride.
		He traces the corresponding changes in representations of the hillbilly from late-nineteenth century America, through the great Depression, the mass migrations of Southern Appalachians in the 1940s and 1950s, the War on Poverty in the mid 1960s, and to the present day.
		Harkins also argues that images of hillbillies have played a critical role in the construction of whiteness and modernity in twentieth century America.
