I spend about an hour with writer, historian and professor Don Cusic. He's the author of over 30 books, including his upcoming biography of Chet Atkins, and teaches "History of the Recording Industry" at Belmont University. We get into country music, music history in general, and the business of music.<a href="https://www.doncusic.com/">More on Don Cusic</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ADon%2BCusic&s=relevancerank&text=Don+Cusic&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 ">Check out Don's Books!</a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/124810979">BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: Don wrote a musical about Minnie Pearl!</a>~~~SUPPORT THIS PODCAST!<a href="https://www.patreon.com/MUSICisnotaGENRE">Join Patreon</a><a href="https://www.bonfire.com/store/rec--mxg-merch/">Get some merch</a>~~~*intro/outro music credit: <a href="https://recarea.bandcamp.com/track/sing-owwt" target="_blank">REC - "Sing Owwt"</a>*mid roll music credit: <a href="https://recarea.bandcamp.com/track/outerloper" target="_blank">The Drop - "Outerloper"</a>

MUSIC is not a GENRE

Don Cusic - Interview Edition #41 | MxG - Season 7 Episode 20

MUSIC is not a GENRE goes beyond music critique, opinion, and gimmicks to get at the heart of music & how it connects to the world - from the perspective of a TRUE MUSIC INSIDER. Every kind of music is discussed and connected to cultural, social & political issues in unexpected ways. It challenges music lovers to think as if THERE IS NO BOX AT ALL. No music can be confined to a genre. And music itself can't be separated from the rest of the world.
