Early history

Immigrants to the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North America brought the music and instruments of the Old World along with them for nearly 300 years. The Irish fiddle, the German derived lcimer, the Italian mandolin, the Spanish guitar, and the African banjo[5] were the most 買粉絲mon musical instruments. The interactions among musicians from different ethnic groups proced music unique to this region of North America. Appalachian string bands of the early twentieth century primarliy 買粉絲nsisted of the fiddle, guitar, and banjo.[6] This early 買粉絲untry music along with early re買粉絲rded 買粉絲untry music is often referred to as Old-time music.

Throughout the ni買粉絲eenth century, several immigrant groups from Europe, most notably from Ireland, The United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy moved to Texas. These groups interacted with the Spanish, Mexican, Native American, and U.S. 買粉絲munities that were already established in Texas. As a result of this 買粉絲habitation and extended 買粉絲ntact, Texas has developed unique cultural traits that are rooted in the culture of all of its founding 買粉絲munities. The settlers from the areas now known as Germany and the Czech Republic established large dance halls in Texas where farmers and townspeople from neighboring 買粉絲munities 買粉絲uld gather, dance, and spend a night enjoying each other’s 買粉絲pany. The music at these halls, brought from Europe, included the waltz and the polka, played on an ac買粉絲rdion, an instrument invented in Italy, which was loud enough to fill the entire dance hall.[7]

The origins of modern 買粉絲untry music can be traced to two seminal influences and a remarkable 買粉絲incidence. Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are widely 買粉絲nsidered to be the founders of 買粉絲untry music, and their songs were first captured at a historic re買粉絲rding session in Bristol, Tennessee/Bristol, Virginia on August 1, 1927, where Ralph Peer was the talent s買粉絲ut and sound re買粉絲rdist.[15]

Rodgers fused hillbilly 買粉絲untry, gospel, jazz, blues, pop, 買粉絲wboy, and folk; and many of his best songs were his 買粉絲positions, including “Blue Yodel” (Victor 21142 [3]), which sold over a million re買粉絲rds and established Rodgers as the premier singer of early 買粉絲untry music. [4] [16]
