The Next American Music
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, October 1, 2008.
The story of American music is, like America itself, a story of re-invention. The rhythms carried by African slaves and European immigrants blossomed into the Delta blues and Appalachian folk in American soil, starting a cycle of grafting, borrowing and stealing yesterday’s hits for today’s audiences.
Music critic Amanda Petrusich is a staff writer at Pitchforkmedia.com and a senior contributing editor at Paste. She took to the blue highways to discover where American music has been and where it’s going. She writes about it in her new book, It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for the Next American Music. She joins Word of Mouth with a discussion of Americana's roots and evolution. About usWord of Mouth is all about what's new.
