The Good Neighbor Get Together

In country music, the men might dominate the radio waves, but it’s women—like Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves—who are making history. Join us as we sit down with Marissa Moss and discuss her book “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be.” Marissa tells the story of the past twenty years of country music as seen through the lens of Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves —and traces their paths to stardom, as well as their battles against a deeply embedded boys’ club, and their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place.

In the summer of 1927, nineteen bands/musicians responded to an ad in a newspaper for an opportunity to be a part of a recording session in Bristol, Tennessee. Some of the most well-known and influential names in American music were there: the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Stoneman, and many more. The Bristol Sessions were organized by Ralph Peer, who worked for Victor records, and was an attempt to capitalize on the increasing popularity of "hillbilly" music. These recordings were no doubt a key moment in country music's evolution. In this episode, we continue with Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Ted Olson and we discuss whether or not the Bristol Sessions were in fact the "Big Bang" of country music.
