Thinking About Genre and Conventions Through Country Music
I wanted to post these videos to help you (re)consider the following
questions which can, hopefully, help you to think about the relationship
between genres and their conventions:
- what's the "glue" that binds these songs together?
- what about them makes them fall into the “country music” category?
- at what points do they bend/blend into other genres (such as folk, blues, and bluegrass)?
"Your Cheating Heart"
"Coal Miner’s Daughter"
"Whiskey River"
"I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow"
Anonymous Question Forum
310rs: every quarter, I put together this Google Doc for students to post questions that they'd like to ask me but don't feel comfortable to ask in class. (I've been there, so I get it.) I'll try my best to check this every two or three days, but please be patient in case it ever takes longer than that.
Also, I hope you know that I genuinely love when you ask me questions -- it shows that you care and that you want to do well, and those are both great things.
