Can’t claim any special connection to this book! But can say I read it in two short bursts, months apart — and wept, and wrote lists.

Lists from my own life: the mentors and course mates, childhood friends and flatmates for a season, brothers and brothers-in-law for good, co-conspirators of all kinds. How lucky I am to know good music, what the 90s felt like, and how to lose an argument gracefully.

Every night I cracked Stay True open, I looked forward to having my heart broken 🧡🧡​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Country Rebels 08 is OUT 🏹
Were excited to share this chapter with y'all!
Featuring researcher, writer & radio host Jamal Khadar ( @krolobykhadar ) for a conversation about the forces of Country Music. 🌾
/
Starting with the era of early recording, when Country was still referred to as Hillbilly Music. Jamal tells us about the cross-cultural flows that crystalized the genre & how commerce stormed in to split up American music into racially divided recordings. Yet at it's core, Country Music is & has always been, rooted in cultural diversity.
/
We expand our view beyond the US > tracing how Country was already moving globally, as it was still in its formation.
/
Summing up the the conversation with what we called,
↩ 'Rebellion through Conversation' ↪
What are the seeds of resistance? Who are the inward-facing, storytelling, quiet rebels we tend to overlook—even though they are central to mobilizing change?
Tune into the Country Rebels conversation dear friends. Once again.
