The Nashville Sound

Dolly Parton is a great example of how in country music as elsewhere, these ideas of musical purity tend to be more complicated than they first seen. Sometimes if your identity, if you have a strong cultural identity, that can give you more freedom to experiment with music or make more music that's more hybrid and still be considered part of that community. The authenticity, if it exists in one of the two categories, the other one can be played with a little more.
