That wouod help. In the sixties, mainstream music went in different directions. But the white artists talked about those influences, and some went looking for blues and bluegrass and folk artists who haf faded into obscurity, and some of those old artists made new recordings and performed again.
I guess it days something about white clout, but I know I.bought albums of Bessie Smith and Jimmie Rodgers and blues artists because white artists had pointed to them as influences.
