Yankee Twang: Country and Western Music in New England: Music in American Life
Autor Clifford R. Murphyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2014
But the music also gave--and gives--voice to working-class feeling. Murphy explores how the Yankee love of country and western emphasizes thewestern, reflecting the longing of many blue collar workers for the mythical cowboy's life of rugged but fulfilling individualism. Indeed, many New Englanders use country and western to comment on economic disenfranchisement and express their resentment of a mass media, government, and Nashville music establishment that they believe neither reflects their experiences nor considers them equal participants in American life.
