Folk Country

Music from the archives: reimagining early hillbilly and cowboy songs (1920-1940).

Culture journalist Jamal Khadar takes a trip through country music’s hidden roots and surprising global connections—in search of a more personal, nuanced view of what it means to be a country fan. From African-Country crossovers to Jamaica’s country connection, and the continuous role of Southern Soul in remaking country.
