Hurtin' Albertan Country Music’s “Hurtin’ Albertan”: Corb Lund and the Construction of “Geo-Cultural” Identity Thèse Jada Watson Doctorat en musique - Musicologie Philosophiæ Doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Jada Watson, 2015 Resumé Le concept de lieu fait partie intégrante de la musique country, genre musical traditionnellement associé à certaines aires géographiques, à des paysages ruraux et aux valeurs communautaires. Bien que la littérature sur la musique country ait bien cerné les liens entre ce genre musical et la notion de lieu, en particulier en ce qui concerne la géographie des origines du genre et de ses scènes importantes, on observe un intérêt scientifique croissant envers les chansons de plus en plus nombreuses explorant le thème du lieu. Cette tradition trouve ses racines dans les chansons hillbilly, les chansons de cowboys chantants, le bluegrass du Kentucky et le western swing, où les artistes ont exprimé la nostalgie des lieux familiers et du temps de leur enfance. Ces récits ne décrivent pas seulement le paysage et la culture d’aires géographiques données; plutôt, ils définissent la relation entre les individus et leur environnement, dévoilant ainsi le caractère, les valeurs et les croyances de l’artiste. En se concentrant sur la musique de l’artiste canadien de country alternatif Corb Lund, cette thèse vise à définir cette relation entre cet artiste de musique country et son environement, et à interroger la façon dont il utilise (à l’instar d’autres artistes du genre) ces chansons afin d’explorer plus à fond les liens avec ses origines albertaines. Plus précisément, il s’agit d’étudier comment ces récits de lieu contribuent à la construction de l’identité de l’artiste, ce que Simon Frith (1996) appelle la persona. Selon Richard Peterson (1997) et Pamela Fox (2009), les artistes country ont tendance à se référer à leurs origines dans un acte de « sincérité authentique », afin de construire une conception personnalisée du lieu (souvent autobiographique). Cette recherche a dû considérer les multiples couches de signification entourant l’artiste en tenant compte du genre, des niveaux identitaires et des rapports géoculturaux. Les approches géoculturelles et écomusicologiques permettent de mieux comprendre les façons dont les individus réagissent au lieu et aux liens intimes entre le « sentiment de soi » et le « sentiment de lieu » (Tuan 1974; Cantrill 1993; Solomon 2000). Le concept d’identité « géoculturelle », issu des sciences politiques (Talukder 2013), est invoqué pour décrire cette relation. Par l’analyse de la musique de Lund, cette thèse explore les manières dont l’artiste aborde la vie quotidienne, le travail et les questions socioculturelles propres à l’Alberta en proposant diverses conceptions du lieu, tout en construisant sa propre identité géoculturelle albertaine. iii Abstract The concept of place is integral to country music, a genre conventionally associated with geographic regions, rural landscapes, and community values. While country music literature has defined the genre’s connection to place in relation to the geography of its origins and prominent scenes, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the place-themed songs that proliferate the genre. The tradition of place songs finds its roots in early hillbilly recordings, songs of the singing cowboy, Kentucky bluegrass, and western swing, where songwriters expressed nostalgia for the seemingly simpler places and times of their childhood. These narratives do not just describe the landscape and culture of geographic regions, but rather, they also define the relationship between individuals and their surrounding environment and community, unveiling elements of the artist’s character, values, and beliefs. Focusing on the music of Canadian alt-country artist Corb Lund, this dissertation seeks to define this relationship between country singer-songwriter and place, and interrogate how he (like many other country artists) uses place songs to explore more fully his ties to his Albertan origins. More specifically, it is interested in how place-based narratives contribute to the construction of an artist’s identity, what Simon Frith (1996) calls the artistic persona. As both Richard Peterson (1997) and Pamela Fox (2009) have noted, country artists tend to refer to their origins as an act of “authentic sincerity,” constructing personalized (often autobiographical) conceptions of place. For a study of this nature, it was important to consider the multiple layers of signification surrounding a singer-songwriter including genre, levels of artistic identity, and geographic-cultural (“geo-cultural”) association. Cultural geographic and ecomusicological discourse offers a rich understanding of the ways in which individuals respond to place and the intimate connection between the “sense of self” and the “sense of place” (Tuan 1974; Cantrill 1993; Solomon 2000). The concept “geo-cultural” identity, drawn from the political sciences (Talukder 2013), is invoked to describe this connection and define the geographic-cultural elements of an artist’s identity. Through an interrogation of Lund’s music, this dissertation explores how the singer-songwriter describes life, work, and socio- cultural issues in his native Alberta, creating diverse conceptions of place, all while constructing his uniquely Albertan “geo-cultural” identity. v Table of Contents Resumé .................................................................................................................................. iii Abstract ................................................................................................................................... v Table of Contents ................................................................................................................. vii List of Tables ......................................................................................................................... ix List of Figures ........................................................................................................................ xi List of Examples ................................................................................................................. xiii List of Illustrations ................................................................................................................ xv List of Abbreviations ......................................................................................................... xvii Foreword and Acknowledgements ...................................................................................... xix Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 1 0.1 Corb Lund, A Biographic Sketch .......................................................................................... 3 0.2 Presentation of the Research Project.................................................................................... 10 0.3 Literature Review ................................................................................................................ 12 0.3.1 Country Music Literature ............................................................................................. 12 0.3.2 Cultural and Human Geography .................................................................................. 15 0.3.3 Rap and Hip-Hop Studies ............................................................................................. 16 0.3.4 Ecomusicology .............................................................................................................. 18 0.4 Objectives and Research Questions ..................................................................................... 22 Chapter 1.
