In the first episode of Twang, host Lane Wendell Fischer unpacks the origin story of country music with Tim Marema. We explore how a rich mix of rural traditions became a genre — and how race, class, and geography shaped which stories got told. From front porch fiddles to the invention of the “hillbilly” record, we trace the transformation of a diverse musical culture into a commercial industry that told a narrow narrative.
Artists discussed include: The Carter Family, Waylon Jennings, The Chicks, and Luke Smathers.
