Hillbilly Blues
Show 94: Hillbilly Blues, Pt. 3: Post-War Country Blues Generation
This chapter carries the story forward into later country, rockabilly, roadhouse swing, and hard-tonk styles. The argument is that the blues strain did not disappear when country got slicker: it kept showing up in phrasing, repertoire, guitar playing, and the whole weary stance of the songs.
