Smile When You Call Me a Hillbilly: Country Music's Struggle for Respectability, 1939-1954
Jeffrey J. Lange
Lange examines the 1940s and early 1950s as the most crucial period in country music’s transformation from a rural, southern folk art form to a national phenomenon. He shows how country music and its audience became more sophisticated and how subgenres blended with one another and with American popular music.
