According to Ken Burns, the song "Old Town Road" is definitely country music. The filmmaker says we have to stop labeling the music.
"People are trying, they are going crazy trying to understand how you label or label it, or separate it in that bucket of that bucket," he said. "None of this matters. I mean, said Louis Armstrong, and this is perhaps the most important music of the 20th century – I did not say jazz, he says, there are only two types of music, the one is the good and the bad. And good music to which you stamp your foot. "
Burns thinks that many people try to separate music and that they should not do it – everyone listens to different musical genres and that's better because of that.
Burns spent eight years shooting his new documentary "Country Music" and his eight-part, 16-hour film chronicling the history and growth of American country music.
"We think in a way that country music is a narrow thing," he said. "It's extremely vast, varied and omnivorous. We think we know what's going on and it's very complicated. "
Billboard was criticized in April 2019 when he deleted Old Country Road's hit song "Old Town Road" from the Hot Country Chart. The song dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks – the longest musical reign ever recorded in 2019.
Director Ken Burns spoke with NowThis News about his new country music documentary, but also turned his attention to the country trap genre in this hit song Old Town Road. With his country beat, I've had horses in the back-dance and country, Ken Burns' musical response 'Old Town Road' is that the song is definitely of the country genre, but that the musical genres are useless. Even the old town remix dance is a mix of genre. Do not you think the old city is a country? Listen to these words from the old city. Karaoke singers will mix genres when they say, "No one can tell me anything" for years.
