BY WADE JESSEN and CRAIG HAVIGHURST The Grand Ole Opry may be the most influential and inspirational program in the history of American music. Through its nationwide reach, its 75 continuous years of broadcasting and its always extraordinary levels of musical and comic talent, the Opry sparked not only the sale of millions upon millions of records but the imagination of countless young fans who heard Roy Acuff or Uncle Dave Macon or Ricky Skaggs and said to themselves, "I can do that; I've got to Everybody went wild: Hank l4 illiams Social engineering: Minnie Pearl Class of '89: Alan Jackson do that."

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 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.

My mother’s advice on all sorts of practical matters and my father’s enthusiasm for traditional music have both benefited me substantially in this endeavor. Jeff Hendricks and Steve Shelburne of the English Department of Centenary College of Loui- siana provided intellectual encouragement and challenges that provided an incomparably solid basis for my subsequent intellectual and academic pursuits. Likewise, Susan Hegeman of the Uni- versity of Florida facilitated the successful completion of this project from the time I first men- tioned it.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.
