Western North Carolina
This study explores the long-debated question concerning the geographic origins of bluegrass music. Using the Sauerian culture hearth concept, western North Carolina is identified as the source area for the distinguishing elements of the bluegrass sound. Western North Carolinians pioneered the innovative instrumental sounds of bluegrass on the five-string banjo, fiddle, and guitar as well as the harmonies and repertoire of bluegrass vocals. A mus…
The Seven Themes of Music Geography
Music geography first emerged as a subfield of cultural geography c. 1970, During the past 25 years, a significant body of research has been published in scholarly journals, books, and reference works. Seven major themes are outlined in the formation of music geography: I ‐ origins (non‐‘geographical’); II ‐ world distribution and types; III ‐ location analysis; IV‐source areas of musical activities; V ‐ trends based on electricity; VI ‐ impact o…
Branson
Branson, Missouri is a country music center that has evolved through three stages of development: use of local talent, introduction of nationally-recognized veteran performers, and an infusion of a younger generation of stars. For the country music artist, Branson provides a music setting historically associated with traditional country music, an opportunity to perform on a regular basis in a permanent location, cultural and physical landscapes i…

Research productivity peaked in the 1970s with most of the studies focusing on American folk and popular music. This essay outlines the seminal works in the geography of music, examines the literature on various music phenomena…

The study follows the paths of four types of American folk and popular music: gospel, country, jazz, and rock…
This Land is My Land
Over 1000 long-term local residents responded to a survey of Oklahoma's vernacular regions. They indicated that their local regions had changed names over time. A majority of respondents in more than 40 of Oklahoma's 77 counties recall that their localities were called "Indian Territory" or some more specific variation on that theme in the past. Because "Indian Territory" was a term produced by the Federal government, this suggests that the centr…
The Shotgun House in Oklahoma
The shotgun house is a common form of folk architecture found in the cultural landscape of Oklahoma. It diffused into Oklahoma during the early decades of the 20th century and became a part of the built environment especially in boom towns associated with lumbering, mining and petroleum. Means of diffusion were related to the connectivity which existed between Oklahoma and the adjacent states of Texas and Louisiana where the shotgun was a popular…

Country Music and the South
Cultural geographers have failed to examine one of the most significant culture items unique to the American South— country music. Examination of the history, folklore, and sociology literature provides data on the area of origin and diffusion routes of the vocal and instrumental characteristics of early country music. The mixing of musical cultures in the South led to the origin and evolution of seven substyles of country music during the twenti…
