Welp, when I was a kid Charlie Pride was a true country music superstar. Great music.


And Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Roy Clark, Jim Reeves, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Marty Robbins, Tammy Wynette, Don Williams, Kenny Rogers, Ernest Tubb, etc.

Looks like they are attempting some culture appropriation.

The Internet wouldn't be what it is today without black people. They have the best gif expressions.

Things like this don't bother me. Charlie Pride has already been discussed. African Spirituals have had a significant impact on country music. And the Blues makes its way into country



Go and listen to early bluesmen like Leadbelly, Lightnin' Hopkins, or Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and tell me that's not country music. Blues is not an offshoot of jazz, it's an outshoot of Scotch-Irish folk music driven by Afro-Caribbean drums. Influence is rarely a one-way street.

They certainly gave David Allen Coe a lot of material to write about.


There’s nothing quite as worthless…

Black people invented Heavy Metal


Well they had a part in it. Pay attention to Heavy Metal guitar riffs. It's basically the blues speeded up. Now stuff like Korn and Limp Bizkit and the crap from the 90s and on was more punk influenced. Who do you think guys like Tommy Iommi were influenced by?
