Why Is It Always About Race? - “Country, Country Blues, and Blackness”
Manage episode 401700338 series 2283011
For some reason, when it comes to Country Music, most people do not associate it with black folk or folk musical expression. The thing is, country music, in its many forms, comes directly from black expression. i.e., the blues, country blues, and more.
To give the context to the roots of commodified music presented and thought of as white music… We can use Leslie Riddle as an example… he was the teacher to the Carters for the music they would be credited for. Maybelle Carter always let that be known.
In this episode, I discuss Why it is Always about Race regarding Country music, Country Blues, and Blackness.
