In this episode, we cover some of the roots of music in the South, though we specifically focus on country music. Our study of this genre is intended to think about the music in a broad way, though further reading and study will certainly be necessary to understand this topic more. Nonetheless, the artists covered will give you a good starting point, plus the music I share in the episode should help you recognize some of the characteristics of this form of southern music.
