Jim Croce - New York’s Not My Home

The early recording industry promoted many local country singers... From the 1960s artists such as Peter Posa and Maria Dallas were played on the radio... The country touch, 1968 - 69, and That’s country, 1976 - 83, were popular TV shows, featuring musicians such as Patsy Riggir, Brendan Dugan and the Topp Twins. The Gold Guitar Awards for country musicians were held each year in Gore. In the 2000s some artists played alt country, combining country and alternative rock influences.

Blues music has African American roots. New Zealand jazz musicians played blues instrumentals from at least the 1930s. By the mid 1960s acoustic blues was performed at folk clubs, and rhythm and blues styled pop bands played electric blues. Original blues songs were written locally from the late 1970s.

David Sylvian - The First Day

When the story of Blues is told to the world, the small town Holly Springs, Mississippi and the North Mississippi region as a whole, is often left out. But, those who know, know that this region is the Hill Country, and it is the home of a style of blues unlike others and continuing to shape popular music culture. Mississippi Hill Country Blues, like all forms of the blues, is deeply rooted in the cultural memories and experiences of those who first performed it. It builds upon the African and diasporic emphasis upon rhythm as not just beats and timing, but giving syncopation and polyrhythm both rhythmic elements, an elevated role in music much like that of the melody. The driving rhythm and aggressive groove, established primarily by sitting on one chord for long phrases, set Hill Country Blues apart from other forms like Delta Blues.
