National Recording Registry: Country

"Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers aren't with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play." - Willie Nelson

The thirteen hours of country music might be the most American genre of music in the National Recording Registry, if it isn't blues. It overlaps, to some extent, with folk and with Latin, just as blues overlaps with jazz and with R&B, but below an attempt will be made to delineate it.

The first country music record may have been fiddler Eck Robertson's 1922 recording of "The Arkansas Traveler" - an 1840s fiddling song and a favorite of Laura Ingalls Wilder's father - and of another tune called "Sallie Gooden." To the record label agent Ralph Peer, country music is the music that could be recorded and sold in rural areas with tastes not represented by Tin Pan Alley publishers. Ralph Peer had sought talent from Appalachian singers and guitarists for some time before the famous 1927 recording sessions in Bristol, TN, which are sometimes considered the beginning of country music. They may, at least, be the beginning of the industry, and of the careers of two of country's early stars, the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers.

As with folk music, many of the earliest country songs were much older than those who recorded them; however, country soon became more of an industry with mostly original, and copywritten music. In 1939, Nashville's Grand Old Opry began broadcasting country music programs to the entire country; the city remains the capital of country music to this day.

The character of country music doesn't seem to have changed music for the time acknowledged by the recordings in the Registry (the newest of which is George Jones's 1980 song "He Stopped Loving Her Today"). The artists, for the most part, play twanging guitar and banjo and sing deep, emotional songs - songs of love and loss, ballads of cowboys and ranchers, and the heartfelt songs of real prisoners like the audience of Johnny Cash's 1968 At Folsom Prison album or the singer on Merle Haggard's single, "Mama Tried."
