The first work to fully illuminate the political and cultural aspects of this intriguing story, the book takes us from Woody Guthrie's radical hillbilly show on Depression-era radio to Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee" in the late 1960's. It explores how these migrant musicians and their audiences came to gain a sense of identity through music and mass media, to embrace the New Deal, and to celebrate African American and Mexican American musical influences before turning toward a more conservative outlook. What emerges is a clear picture of how important Southern California was to country music and how country music helped shape the politics and culture of Southern California and of the nation. 410 0$aAmerican crossroads ;$v22. 606 $aCountry music$zCalifornia$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPopular culture$zCalifornia, Southern$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a1930s. 610 $a1960s. 610 $a1970s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aamerica. 610 $aamerican music. 610 $acountry music scene. 610 $acountry music. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural politics. 610 $adepression era. 610 $adust bowl migration. 610 $agreat depression. 610 $ahillbilly. 610 $aidentity. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $amass media. 610 $amass migration. 610 $amerle haggard. 610 $amigrant musicians. 610 $amigration. 610 $amusic and culture. 610 $amusic historians. 610 $amusic history. 610 $anew deal. 610 $aoklahoma. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $aregional history. 610 $asouthern california. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aus history. 610 $awoody guthrie. 615 0$aCountry music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 676 $a781.64209794 700 $aLa Chapelle$b Peter$01522428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784417903321 996 $aProud to be an Okie$93762126 997 $aUNINA
