About Country Music
Some people say that country music began on August 1, 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee. On this day, Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family signed recording contracts for Victor Records. Ralph Peer was the talent scout who also recorded the music. Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family were among the first professional country music stars. They influenced future artists such as Brooks & Dunn in many ways. Jimmie Rodgers, called the "Father of Country Music," paved the way with simple yet popular songs. He was paid $100 for his first test recordings with Victor Records. Although that was a lot of money in the 1920's, it sounds like pocket change compared to the millions of dollars that country music stars like Brooks & Dunn make today. Yet, Jimmie Rodgers plays an important part in the history of country music. Stars of today, such as Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and Brooks & Dunn, can trace their roots back to him.
The Carter Family has been named one of the most influential groups in country music. Starting in 1927, they recorded about 300 ballads, traditional songs, and Gospel hymns. Drawing from the folklore and culture of the American south, their music appealed to many people. Members of The Carter Family included Mother Maybelle Addington Carter, Sara Dougherty, and Sara's husband, Alvin Pleasant Carter. Mother Maybelle played guitar and sang harmony. Sara Dougherty played autoharp and sang alto, and Alvin Pleasant played the fiddle and sang bass. Mother Maybelle was called the "Queen of Country Music". Her daughter, June, later married superstar Johnny Cash. Growing from roots in Tennessee, country music has become one of the most popular forms of music in America today. Fans are always looking for Brooks & Dunn seats and discount Brooks & Dunn tickets on TicketNetwork for the latest concerts.
In 1961, the Country Music Association opened the Country Music Hall of Fame. Also a museum, the Country Music Hall of Fame honors stars with bronze plaques that show an image of their face and a brief biography. Today, country stars like Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Brooks & Dunn dream of being included in the Hall with a plaque of their own, and some artists see that dream come true. The first three people to be inducted into the Hall of Fame were Jimmie Rodgers, Fred Rose, and Hank Williams. At first, their plaques were displayed at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville. The first official Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum building opened on April 1, 1967. In 2001, a new Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opened, displaying the bronze plaques of artists in the Hall of Fame Rotunda. The new building cost $37 million, and is a huge architectural attraction located in Nashville's entertainment district. Artists like Brooks & Dunn can come to the Hall of Fame and hope to one day see their plaque hanging on the wall.
The roots of country music include fiddle tunes, called Old Time Music, played in the southern Appalachians before 1927. Originating in the American South and the Appalachian Mountains, country music was influenced by traditional folk music, Celtic music, gospel music, and old-time music. These sounds influenced the music of current stars such as Brooks & Dunn.
