Until the first recordings of the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, the mountain music of Kentucky and Virginia was limited to rural communities.

The Road to Nashville
The roots of Nashville's position at the heart of country music lie with the honky tonk heroes who moved from the bars of the Southeast to the Grand Ole Opry. ""The Road to Nashville"" moves from the inspired and mournful sound of Hank Williams to the birth of Chet Atkins and Owen Bradley's smoother ""Nashville Sound,"" in response to the rise of rock 'n' roll.

Sweethearts of the Rodeo
While acts such as Shania Twain or the Dixie Chicks sell millions, it's easy to forget that women's dominance in country has been an uphill struggle.
