It then traces the adoption of hip hop, rock, and pop into country line dancing, a return to regional differentiation of dance styles, and the migration of more traditional forms of count…

New Deal Cowboy
A star of radio, records, motion pictures, and live appearances, the singing cowboy Gene Autry (1907–1988) was a dominant figure in the twentieth-century popular culture landscape, appealing not only to the young boys who formed the core audience for western entertainments, but also to women, middle-class whites, and even international audiences. Manipulating contemporary media outlets to promote himself as a wholesome, earnest, and honest Americ…

Kristofferson [Carson], Kris

Narrative, vocal staging and masculinity in the ‘Outlaw’ country music of Waylon Jennings
Emerging in the early 1970s, the work of Outlaw country artists might be heard as exploring a crisis of masculinity resulting from developments in the women's liberation movement. Building on recent research in recorded sound studies, this essay explores how the vocal staging practices deployed in Outlaw country recordings offer a unique musical exploration of the duality of the outlaw's masculinity. Using case studies drawn from Waylon Jennings'…

Stay Out the Way of the Southern Thing”
A systematic analysis of the band's studio albums reveals that the Drive-By Truckers have extracted a small but versatile collection of musical topoi drawn primarily from 1970s southern and hard rock. Yet the Drive-By Truckers are not simply southern rock revivalists or a cover band; rather, they employ specific compositional and performance practices that deform and distort the sounds of their rock predecessors. Like its literary counterparts, t…
Phases and stages, circles and cycles
While many rock artists explored the compositional possibilities of the concept album in the 1960s and 1970s, Nashville's country music community largely ignored the format. But a few artists working on the fringes of country music - and who, notably, aligned themselves with the countercultural images and attitudes of the time - did begin to experiment with the format in the first years of the 1970s. Chief among them was country songwriter and re…

Music and Making of a New South
Startled by rapid social changes at the turn of the twentieth century, citizens of Atlanta wrestled with fears about the future of race relations, the shape of gender roles, the impact of social class, and the meaning of regional identity in a New South. Gavin James Campbell demonstrates how these anxieties were played out in Atlanta's popular musical entertainment. Examining the period from 1890 to 1925, Campbell focuses on three popular musical…
