How Country Music Was Stolen Recording Industry Erasure: When country music began being recorded in the 1920s, record labels categorized Black artists as “race records” (blues and gospel) and white artists as “hillbilly music” (country). This segregation led to the false narrative that country music was a white genre. Whitewashing of the Grand Ole Opry: The Opry played a major role in cementing country music as a white space, limiting Black artists' participation despite their influence. Elvis and Rock’s Country Roots: Many early rock artists, including Elvis Presley, borrowed heavily from Black country-blues artists like Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Arnold Shultz (1886-1931): A Black fiddler and guitarist from Kentucky, Shultz heavily influenced Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass, but was written out of history. Lesley Riddle (1905-1980): Helped shape the Carter Family’s sound by introducing them to Black folk songs, but he remains largely uncredited. Charley Pride (1934-2020): One of the few Black country stars allowed into the mainstream, though he faced severe racism throughout his career.
