Born in Bristol

The birthplace of country music is explored, revealing its evolution before Nashville became the genre's hub.

The emergence of Country music in its true birthplace, predating Nashville, is explored in this film. The "hillbilly" recordings, made by marginalized and impoverished groups with Southern Appalachian roots and European and African influences, paved the way for the development of Country and Rock and Roll music. These sessions played a crucial role in helping people cope with the Great Depression and laid the foundation for Rock music's impact on future American struggles.
