Title: Folk Roots to Pop Masses: An Entangled History
Abstract: As wide as the chasm between the two musical cultures seems today, a study of their respective aesthetic evolutions and trajectories takes one on a journey to the south, where the music emerged. Like other musical genres, both soul and country music have been shaped by the historical circumstances and the ever-changing American environment. In this chapter, I utilize relevant historical milestones to identify how the sounds of soul and country music developed as a result of the changing American sociopolitical stage.KeywordsBlack ChurchPopular MusicMusical GenreFolk MusicCountry MusicThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
