Sorry but I have to disagree with you strongly on that... if you go back in time on rural white music to time and places of little to no contact with black music you still can clearly see (or hear) it as "root" Country Music ... however from day one of Black and White music "meeting" there been heavy cross pollination going both ways to the betterment of both.... honesty sung from the heart know no color
I would like some examples please.
The black and white music argument gets pretty ridiculous and it basically comes down to the liberal propaganda that Europeans (and by extension, white Americans) stole virtually everything including math, science, music, sports, etc. from other peoples for their own betterment. It reminds me of the old Wayan Brothers episode wher the father tells his sons, "Larry Bird ain't white. That's just what THEY want you to believe!"
You nailed that one.
Listen to Irish folk music and tell me that there's no connection between that and country music.
But still, there's a lot of black Southron influence there, too.
Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe
Well I got your drinkin' money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people all were fools
Cuz Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the blues
