If I'm remembering correctly, I think it was around 1990 when I read that Billboard had reported that Black people were the biggest purchasers of country music.

I don't recall if country artist covering soul plays into what's being discussed exactly, but I became obsessed with The Maddox Brothers & Rose's version of Mickey & Sylvia's Love Is Strange this week twitter.com...

That part in Louie Bluie where he recounts reciting the poem about the Woodpecker in school may be my favorite scene from any movie ever, documentary or otherwise...

I still don't know anything about Slim O'Bannon. What a great record this is.

Great box set from 1998 "From Where I Stand: The Black Experience In Country Music" that is worth seeking out also. Very informative booklet with it.

Do we still have to do the homework?

@b k: I reviewed that box for a music magazine when it came out. It was a revelation.

Fact check: Charley Pride was discovered in Helena, Montana.

Well called, Gaylord.

U r so right. Country ends around 75. I would have to say tho that the old time stuff before 1950 was country before country was country. Great show. Listening from Tx. Not proud.

Great show, Becky and Gaylord!

@ToTetsu: Look up the "chimirocha" musical phenomenon in Kenya — a song movement spawned from a few Jimmie Rodgers 78s that made their way to that nation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:36pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Tommy in Neversink: There's a whole lot to like about it — so many great performances, for one. If anything, I think a lot of us are disappointed in Ken Burns because he couldn't break out of certain orthodoxies, even as he on occasion challenges others.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:37pm
Becky:

Yes. Also, he hires some real duds of talking heads from time to time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm

Since we recorded this, I got an amazing O.B. McClinton live album that I can't wait to play during Volume 2 of this series!

Exactly. Having 12.5% of Hank's DNA doesn't make you an expert — or even talented. Oof!

Ken Burns can do more but he always does Ken Burns.

I was wondering who would be the Wynton Marcellus of the country doc but there doesn't' really seem to me one commentator dominating they way Wynton did

Wynton was the Wynton

I can't forgive Burns for the short shrift he gave Charles Mingus ( my fav jazz guy) He could have taken a few minutes from the 60 hours he used to cover Armstrong and Ellington and gave Mingus some more attention

I love this episode. This is my third listen! Any other suggestions/further listening for black country? Haven’t checked out that documentary yet. Maybe I’ll queue that up next!

Ultodomo ..He only mentioned that one thing Mingus did that was critical of the governor of AK..Fables Of Farbus......Like that was Mingus's only claim to fame

Not about country music specifically, but all the reading and listening and watching you can do about American black cowboys is worthwhile. www.bbc.co.uk...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:49pm
Gaylord Fields:

"Fairytale" was a big pop hit and (barely) a country hit, so it makes me wonder why they didn't recorded more in the country vein. Probably label pressure.

thanks again, Becky and Gaylord!
hearing this again has been so -- healing? replenishing? for me at least, giving me strength to not only keep fighting the horrible violence and injustice, but the apathy and complacency i have been witnessing too
