From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Country · In the 1920s mountain music became country through radio and the gramophone record. Ralph Peer's recordings in Bristol in 1927, with the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, are regarded as the beginning; the Grand Ole Opry made Nashville the capital of the genre. Hank Williams became the blueprint of the country singer-songwriter.
Listening
Listening tip. In Lovesick Blues you hear two traditions come together: a Tin Pan Alley song from 1922 and the yodel from country.
