Songs that pine for an idyllic rural past have been a part of country music since the genre was first invented as a marketing category for rural white Southerners in the 1920s. Some of the earliest country songs, like Fiddlin' John Carson's "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane," recorded in 1923 and often celebrated as one of the first country records, yearns for a rustic home. Carson's song, like many others in popular music at the time, was a minstrel tune, commonly performed in Blackface, and written in 1871 and presented from the perspective of a former slave who longed for a pre-emancipation past. Carson also regularly performed at KKK rallies. --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:975004336] in So it turn...

I'm just saying it is ridiculous to call him a racist based on this singular and completely non-racist example. Maybe one day you'll move out of the 1 dimensional world you live in and understand what I mean. In your quest for nuance you neglected to notice that I never said he was racist. He might be, he might not, I don't know the man. What I was pointing out is that your arguments against it are weak. Agonizingly so. Do better, or, to paraphrase another musician, keep your mouth shut when you don't know. --- Cynic, n.

ChainsawFerret 07/22/23 11:02:31 PM #52:	Got a few bands to get y'all off the beaten trail. Most of the mainstream country scene is fake. You can find these on Youtube. 1) Sturgill Simpson. 2) Goodnight, Texas 3) Poor Man's Poison 4) Blues Saraceno. And just for something different, a metal band that does country better than most country artists: Orden Ogan. --- Fact: Ferrets attack more people than grizzly bears. <cite>ChainsawFerret posted [p:975009327] in So it turn...
