    NOTIONS OF NATION: EXPLORING THE BLUEGRASS NATION AS AN IMAGINED COMMUNITY A Thesis by JORDAN L. LANEY Submitted to the Graduate School at Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2013 Department of Appalachian Studies NOTIONS OF NATIONS: EXPLORING THE BLUEGRASS NATION AS AN IMAGINED COMMUNITY A Thesis by JORDAN LANEY May 2013 APPROVED BY: Nancy S. Love Chairperson, Thesis Committee David Haney Member, Thesis Committee Fred Hay Member, Thesis Committee Patricia D. Beaver Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Edelma D. Huntley Dean, Cratis Williams Graduate School Copyright by Jordan L. Laney 2013 All Rights Reserved Abstract NOTIONS OF NATIONS: EXPLORING THE BLUEGRASS NATION AS AN IMAGINED COMMUNITY Jordan L. Laney B.F.A., Goddard College M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Nancy S. Love While bluegrass music has been a topic of conversation within the discipline of Appalachian Studies, research concerning the emergence of the community in cyberspace is relatively rare. Appalachian music’s role as a transnational facilitator is groundbreaking in areas of social networking, and as a member of the bluegrass community, I am fascinated by the communication that results now that members of that community can connect to friends in Europe, Japan, and France as easily as to next door neighbors. Noting that music is what brings these individuals together, this study addresses ways in which the bluegrass community embodies an imagined community and uses political language to gather in cyberspace. The study is not meant to discredit the direct ties the music has to Appalachia, but rather to applaud and understand the work of enthusiasts in the field who have found ways to mobilize the music through the Internet.

  • Steve Earle & the Dukes' J.T., Set for January 4, 2021 Release Via New
    Steve Earle & The Dukes’ J.T., Set For January 4, 2021 Release Via New West Records November 18, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – On the forthcoming album, J.T., Steve Earle & The Dukes pay tribute to Steve’s late son, Justin Townes Earle (J.T.), who passed away on August 20, 2020 in Nashville. The album will be released digitally on what would have been Justin’s 39th birthday, January 4, 2021, via New West Records. “The record is called J.T. because Justin was never called anything else until he was nearly grown. Well, when he was little, I called him Cowboy,” explains Steve Earle. “For better or worse, right or wrong, I loved Justin Townes Earle more than anything else on this earth. That being said, I made this record, like every other record I’ve ever made... for me. It was the only way I knew to say goodbye.” Today, as the album pre-order launched, Steve shared the track “Harlem River Blues.” Listen HERE. Fans who pre-order J.T. in digital format will instantly receive “Harlem River Blues.” The CD and vinyl editions of the album will follow on March 19, 2021. The poignant “Harlem River Blues” is one of Justin’s best-known compositions and took Song of the Year honors at the 2011 Americana Music Awards ceremony following Justin’s win in the Emerging Artist of the Year category in 2009. Check out Justin’s original recording of “Harlem River Blues,” which was the title track of his 2010 album, HERE. J.T. finds Steve Earle & The Dukes covering 10 of Justin’s songs – from “I Don’t Care,” which appeared on his 2007 debut EP, Yuma, and a trio of selections from his full-length debut album, The Good Life (“Ain’t Glad I’m Leaving,” “Far Away In Another Town” and “Lone Pine Hill”) to later compositions like 2017’s “Champagne Corolla” and 2019’s “The Saint Of Lost Causes,” which was the title track of Justin’s eighth and final studio album.
