Montreal-based singer-songwriter (and co-host of the Country Classics Hour on CKUT 90.3 FM) Katie Moore joins me for a deep dive into the mystifying mix of symbolism, history, racial and class divisions, marketing, and the slippery concept of authenticity that make up what we call "country music." All that, plus a lot of laughs along the way.
Check out this Spotify playlist of much of the music discussed plus other country and country-adjacent classics!
