Today In The Upper Cumberland: Country Music Part Two

TTU Professor James Akenson on how modern country music is inspired by its past.

In the conclusion of our two-part series on Country Music, Tennessee Tech Professor James Akenson explains how the music reflected the people who listened. How the music tells a story. The men and women behind the music. And how you can still hear some of the same notes of yesterday in today’s music.

Today In The Upper Cumberland airs each weekend as a way to introduce you to interesting people and subjects of interest to our community. Catch the show each Saturday morning at 6 on Lite Rock 95.9, Rock 93-7, and 106-9 Kicks Country.
