Country Rock: An Idiosyncratic History July/September 2006 Page 10/12

"There is no question that rock and roll is connected with much of the country and western tradition. Much of the best and newest recent developments in rock and roll have had more and more to do with country music. Otis Redding was deeply touched by country music. The soul music tradition has been deeply involved with country sounds; they are both from the South and the marriage of the two is what we call rock and roll.

There are a number of things we can see in country music, a number of styles and ideas that are a part of the music. They are story-telling songs. Tales of people and their people, intensely simplistic and moral in their nature. .in its highest moments, . it is intensely heartfelt, intensely soulful and intensely close to people.

It might seem like a truism, . (but) it ought to be re-asserted that the main thing is the music and (that) understanding begins there. .the best groups and the best performers are those who are solidly grounded in the music, who can play and perform well and not those who just have timely, hip messages.

Country & western music is the soul music of white people. Its origins are in the lives of the dispossessed Okies and it reflects the knowledge and suffering of people who had learned that there is no honest compromise with other men and with the land. In many ways, it is music of reconciliation, of people who have been wronged or wronged others, but who, in the end, found out that that's the way it is."(emphasis in original) ("Johnny Cash and Country: The Spiritual Core of Rock and Roll", by Jann Wenner; Rolling Stone, May 25, 1968 from the Rolling Stone Rock `n' Roll Reader, p. 93ff)
