The One and Only Birthplace of Country Music Museum

by Audrey C. Howell

For something that is now regarded as be such a quintessential part of American culture, country music has an interesting history with regard to the perception of being \"mainstream.\" At its launch, commercial country music was deemed nationally marketable precisely due to its regional specificity. Among the best early country music worked because it was so distinctive.

The blue yodel of Jimmie Rodgers and the mountain music of the Carter Family didn't resemble anybody else. These performers and the larger musical contexts that encased them were predicated on a type of difference, an identity that was defined in opposition to something different.

The genre tag \"country\" comes from the Billboard chart designation of \"country & western,\" a kind of catch-all meant to somehow differentiate music coming from a more urban, citified sound-to acknowledge a stylistic in addition to geographic and cultural difference between the East (particularly the music publishing mainstays of Tin Pan Alley in New York) and also the rural South and West.

Before \"country,\" the music was called \"old familiar\" or \"hillbilly,\" both of which get at a similar quality that is important to country music. \"Old familiar\" ties the music with a sense of yesteryear, of a culture established on tradition as an alternative to on hit records. And \"hillbilly\" likewise tags the music as homespun and veritably rural in way that sets it aside from the sound of urban, industrial America.

Fortunately, country music always had its rogues, and fans have kept their identification with outsiders. In the 1940s, Hank Williams, a brilliant songwriter and serious alcoholic, came to personify the rough and lean honky-tonk style (named for working-class, edge-of-town type Texas juke joints) that had been gaining notice possessing bouncing rhythms and electric guitar leads. Williams cut just 66 songs under his own name, 37 which you will find that became hits. His spare, emotional style, troubled family life, and mysterious drink and drug-related death at age 29 have combined over time to create him probably the most iconic figure in all of country music. Williams is country music in the same way that Kurt Cobain is 1990s grunge and for similar reasons.
