Exactly that is the history or the Race music classification system in a nutshell. When Black people like Leslie Riddle, Pink Anderson, Etta Baker, Elizabeth Cotton, Ray Charles, Mississippi John Hurt, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Son House and nem played music it was called the Blues or Appalachian Blues. When White artist stole it and sang it they called that music Country music.It seems like when a white person sings certain music, its country, but when a Black person sings it, they don’t wanna call it that.

Nothing "country" about "Tennessee Whiskey" other than marketing. That song was a damn blues-based "Soul" song.

Chris Stapelton, who is literally listed as a country singer did not make a country song because are saying its a rip off Etta James.
Tennessee Whiskey" is an American country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. It was originally recorded by country artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name, peaking at number 77 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981.[1] George Jones' 1983 version of the song was included on his album Shine On, and reached number two on the Hot Country Singles chart. In Chris's adaptation, it has more of a blues melody but it was originally made as a country song. A 1 minute google search told me that
Not everything has to be racial.
Yes, songs sample other songs riffs and patterns. If her family does not sue, she has a right to claims and profits of the song, which I'm sure the family already receives.
But f** it, Coli militant's know everything and because we are black and the rhythm is similar it don't count and blah blah and. Meanwhile off the internet and in real life.

Yes. And the Animals version of the "House of the Rising Sun" has nothing to do with Ledbelly's earlier version. Ram Jam's Black Betty has nothing to do with Leadbelly's earlier version.

People are really weird with the constant need to compare every damn thing. Just say you like country music and move on.
