Branches of Country Music | Country Music | Ken Burns
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
It’s all intertwined. Country music, folk music, blues music, rock music—you name it, they’re all poetry driven. And I think it’s all intertwined.
They categorized me as rockabilly. Well I didn’t know it was rockabilly. I’m just singin’ songs, singin’ ‘em like I sang. And then, all of a sudden, I was rock. And then, all of a sudden, I was pop. Then, all of a sudden, I became country. When a singer is absolutely passionate about what they do, I don’t think you should pigeonhole them. Because if you ask us artists, when it’s all said and done, it’s music. That’s all it is. Doesn’t have a title. – Brenda Lee
