The First Family Country Bluegrass Gospel The 1920's ushered into American culture many of this century's greatest sounds. This was a period when general consumer items were mass-produced and made affordable to the common family. Phonographs and radios developed a demand for radio performers and recording artists. Ruralists saw the beginning of the acceptance of their music into larger markets in the twenties. In 1923 the first "hillbilly" record was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia. It was Fiddlin' John Carson who performed "Log Cabin in the Lane" and "The Old Hen Cackle". Two southern radio powerhouses featuring live entertainment, WSB Atlanta, Georgia, and WSM Nashville, Tennessee, opened their airwaves. Many historians recognize 1927 as the beginning of country music in the recording industry, with the release of "Weeping Willow" by the Carter Family, and "Sleep, Baby Sleep" by Jimmie Rodgers. The year of 1927 also marks the beginning of country's first gospel group, The Morris Family.
