	VERNON DALHART \| Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum \| Nashville, Tennessee
		Vernon Dalhart was one of the most productive and versatile figures of the early recording industry, who by chance slipped into the role of a singer of hillbilly songs and became by far the most prolific recorder of such material in the 1920s.
		Although Dalhart is regarded by most scholars as peripheral to the stylistic development of country music, his recordings undoubtedly circulated widely in the South and disseminated songs that were taken up by both professional and amateur country performers.
		Dalhart’s recording career virtually ended with the Depression—after 1933 there was just one final session for Bluebird in 1939—and by 1942 he was reduced to working as a factory night-watchman.
