Isn't it a slippery slope to use a cultural slur to describe music?
At that point isn't salsa "beaner" music
Would Show tunes be "queer" music?
Asian tunes "chink" music?
I hesitate to say what we would have to call rap.


Well said.

"Hillbilly" music is an apt if socially incorrect descriptor for
bluegrass music.

Wiki, for example, offers the following:


The "hillbilly music" categorization covers a wide variety of musical
genres including bluegrass, country western, and gospel. Appalachian
folk song existed long before the "hillbilly" label. When the commercial
industry was combined with "traditional Appalachian folksong,"
"hillbilly music" was formed. Some argue this is a "High Culture" issue
where sophisticated individuals may see something considered
"unsophisticated" as "trash."[6]

In the early 20th century, artists began to utilize the "hillbilly"
label. The term gained momentum due to Ralph Peer, the recording
director of OKeh Records, who heard it being used among Southerners when
he went down to Virginia to record the music and labeled all Southern
country music as so from then on.[13] The York Brothers entitled one of
their songs "Hillbilly Rose" and the Delmore Brothers followed with
their song "Hillbilly Boogie." In 1927, the Gennett studios in Richmond,
Indiana, made a recording of black fiddler Jim Booker. The recordings
were labeled "made for Hillbilly" in the Gennett files and were marketed
to a white audience. Columbia Records had much success with the "Hill
Billies" featuring Al Hopkins and Fiddlin' Charlie Bowman.

By the late 1940s, radio stations started to use the "hillbilly music"
label. Originally, "hillbilly" was used to describe fiddlers and string
bands, but now it was used to describe traditional Appalachian music.
Appalachians had never used this term to describe their own music.
Popular songs whose style bore characteristics of both hillbilly and
African American music were referred to as hillbilly boogie and
rockabilly. Elvis Presley was a prominent player of rockabilly and was
known early in his career as the "Hillbilly Cat."

When the Country Music Association was founded in 1958, the term
hillbilly music gradually fell out of use. The music industry merged
hillbilly music, Western swing, and Cowboy music, to form the current
category C&W, Country and Western.

Some artists and fans (notably Hank Williams Sr.) were offended by the
"hillbilly music" label. While the term is not used as frequently today,
it is still used on occasion to refer to old-time music or bluegrass.
For example, WHRB broadcasts a popular weekly radio show entitled
"Hillbilly at Harvard." The show is devoted to playing a mix of old-time
music, bluegrass, and traditional country and western.[14]


Those Southern Belles sure are insulted easily.

Don't you feel insulted by Harry for his coming to your defense?

CBC supper hour shop interviewed a senior couple from Mass.
