One example of this would be “The Death of Mother Jones” by Gene Autry which tells of Mary Harris Jones, an American labor organizer. One lyric in the song says “and bring back better conditions for every laboring man,” a tribute to the kind of hope the song was trying to inspire. Also The “Maddox Brothers and Rose” wrote a song against the Taft-Hartley act(a federal law that restricts the power of labor unions). Relevant events of the Time Period Stock Market Crash of 1929 Aside from affecting the content and lyrics of the music produced, the Great Depression also affect how the music was distributed and heard.

  • Vernon Dalhart: His Rural Roots and the Beginnings of Commercial Country Music*
    VERNON DALHART: HIS RURAL ROOTS AND THE BEGINNINGS OF COMMERCIAL COUNTRY MUSIC* by Walter Darrell Haden English Department University of Tennessee Martin, Tennessee Most country music history fans know of the North American folk songs which launched Vernon Dalhart as the first country music artist of national importance. The Wreck of the Old 97 and The Prisoner's Song were also the beginnings of the commercial country music industry in this country. Before Dalhart recorded these songs, there had been, it is true, an effort to market some country music: Henry Whitter, Riley Puckett, Kelly Harrell, and other country vocalists had begun or were beginning their record­ ing careers. But there had been no country hit songs and no country singing star to record them. Fiddlers like John Carson and other country instrumentalists had recorded, it is true, and some of these musicians had thrown in a vocal chorus or perhaps even a stanza or so of song lyrics. But before Dalhart there had been no country recording of national importance and certainly no hit. Today knowledge­ able record collectors and musicologists are making the truth increasingly well known that Dalhart's pairing of The Prisoner's Song with The wreck of the Old 97 on more than 30 different labels sold over 25,000,000 copies. Victor 19427 alone sold close to 6,000,000 copies of this famous pairing of hits. (1) In 1924, Dalhart, dropping his current "pop" music career to take up country music, even more native to his upbringing, stepped before an accoustical recording horn at Thomas A.

Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2002 1 Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 2 [2002], Iss. 1, Art. 3 The International Stage Cowboys and Indians: Cowboys There are countless cultural innovations and popular products recognized around the world as uniquely American. Whether with the blues, the Big Mac, tailfins on Cadillacs, or the legacy of space travel, the United States continually astounds and, from time to time, confounds the world with its prolific cultural productivity. Things American are everywhere, at least anywhere a radio wave can reach a receiver or a satellite signal can touch a television set, and two of the most ubiquitous Yankee exports are the mythical cowboy of the Wild West and country music. Bob Livingston, an accomplished Austin musician, has helped to shape these singular institutions into an effective tool of American diplomacy. Since 1986, Livingston has toured extensively in South Asia and the Middle East as an emissary of the State Department of the United States presenting a musical program he calls “Cowboys and Indians.” He describes his mission (with his tongue only partially in his cheek) as an attempt “to achieve world peace through cowboy songs and yodeling.”1 Livingston’s ambitious crusade has touched the lives of thousands around the world by offering a refreshing and holistic view of American culture.
