Hillbilly Blues
Show 93: Hillbilly Blues, Pt. 1: Early Country Blues Crossover
This is the earlier mountain-and-country side of the argument, where old-time records, minstrel leftovers, blues phrases, and lonesome rural songs all share bloodlines. The show documents how early country music was never cleanly separate from blues, especially in guitar songs, railroad numbers, and hard-luck ballads.
