This podcast traces the origins and evolution of country music from its roots in Appalachian folk ballads, gospel hymns, and cowboy songs into the slick pop-country sounds of today. It analyzes country music's cultural influence, pivotal innovations, musical styles, global impact, and ability to give voice to ordinary Americans across social boundaries. Spanning honky tonk, outlaw rebels, crossover pop, and more, it explores how country reflects wider narratives of working class hopes and hardships essential to the American experience.
