Lots of ways to cut the cake. To me when music production became digitized and ability to re-record, compress, auto tune vocals, inability to actually play and sing in one take w very basic edits. To me, those cats changed Appalachian music to “country music” for the masses. Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Lefty, Ernest Tubbs.
Hank Williams
Patsy Cline
Haggard
The rest.
