Critical ‘60s Country
By T. Cole RachelWhile pop was undergoing its psychedelic makeover, down in Nashville, the classic themes of drinkin', lovin' and cheatin' remained just as popular as ever. (The hair, however, got much bigger.) Still, country music underwent its own 1960s renaissance, making baby steps away from the traditional Grand Ole Opry model toward the crossover sound that decades later led to Taylor Swift.
