Country music is bland, conservative music for aging white fuddy-duddies. Or so its detractors claim. In fact, country has, from its inception, been musically omnivorous, gulping down blues, jazz, soul, rock, hip hop and anything else that happened to be sitting nearby on the radio dial.

Hillbilly music as a genre was originally constructed in opposition to so-called “race music” — which is to say, it was specifically designed for white people. Segregated marketing has, painfully and shamefully, made country music what it is to no small extent. This glorious meeting between early country superstar Jimmie Rodgers and Louis Armstrong is a rebuke to that segregation. Western swing was swing band music played by rural white folks with some country instrumentation. Bill Monroe, “Scotland,” 1958 Bluegrass is often thought of as traditional music. Ray Charles, “I’m Movin’ On,” 1959. ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION - TEARDROPS WILL KISS THE MORNING DEW LYRICS.
