I looked up “country music” and one of the things in the article that caught my eye was “sometimes with unbuttoned vigor of an old-time gospel singer or a backwards blues shouter”. It says “that they were once called Hillbilly and were only in the southeast and how they were heard around the world”. This article is from the 50’s and given that its strange to see how country music is described with almost the same as it is today. Where people either love it or hate it. As seen with the former quote that it has a sort of negative connotation to it and the latter quote sounds life it is almost proud of country music and the things the genre has accomplished.
