We're about to release Redneck Playlist Hilight 4, but here's a little primer from Morningside Review on the history of appropriation in music, particularly country and swing music.
This here article is very much more academic and probably more accurate than we'll be in our hilight, but its got a great deal of thought and effort put in to it. Here's a quote;
"The success of Graceland and the Rolling Stones speaks to whites’ lack of interest in the black experience and their desire not simply to steal black music, but more basically to de-contextualize it—that is, to avoid establishing emotional connections."
Even if you dont agree with the idea of defacto racism go ahead and take a look!
