I want to start by saying country music is gross.

However, I think it’s interesting that country music was created from the displacement of white people. My granddad listened to a lot of country music or as he calls “Country-Western”, but it was mainly black people who sang the songs. However, as we talked Hank Williams and Muddy Waters, I look at some other artist like, B.B. King and wonder realize how segregated music was. Although they appealed to different audiences, Hank Williams, B.B. King, and Muddy Waters shared musical similarities. As time went on, why is it that we never redefined the music in which Muddy Waters and B.B. King made as country? Does this mean music is still technically segregated in a sense, as we only sing certain types of music?
