*-Though we can all agree Nashville radio country sucks. It really, truly does. Also, don’t ask me about how British and Irish folk music started dancing with African and then African-American musical forms in the 1700s and never stopped, and when combined with post-world war 2 countercultural neo-folk ethos and wider availability of higher education, resulted in a re-valuing of linguistically and psychologically complex lyrics within a subset of the “hillbilly music” genre, which then stewed for a decade or more in boomer rock-n-roll, all culminating in deeply satisfying mélanges of poetry and fiddles and banjos and electric guitars. Cuz, you know, I’m not a dork.
