Hillbilly music sources and symbols.

Hillbilly Sources and Symbols: Country Music, Cultural Brokerage, and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" was a conference held on 4-5 April 2003 at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The conference, sponsored by the Southern Folklife Collection, the Center for the Study of the American South (CSAS), and Music in Context, was a response to the surge in popularity of traditional music inspired by the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and a celebration of the publication of "Country Music Sources: A Biblio-Discography of Commercially Recorded Traditional Country Music" by Guthrie T. Meade Jr. with Douglas S. Meade and Richard K. Spottswood (Southern Folklife Collection, 2002).
