Art/Literary - Music / Elvis Presley
English term or phrase: hillbilly music
Aus einem Text über Elvis Presley und den Anfängen bei Sun Records im Jahr 1953:

"Though it may be a cliché to say that Elvis Presley blended hillbilly music with R&B and pop, it has never been fully explained just how the music he created became so hot so quickly."

Wie würdet ihr "hillbilly music" übersetzen? Hillbilly-Musik oder -Music, oder als Countrymusic, wie es von dict.cc vorgeschlagen wird?

agree  Heike Holthaus: Hillybilly-Musik. Ich find Old-Time Music zu allgemein.

  -> danke, Heike, ja - hört sich recht allgemein an... aber der Begriff ist eigentlich recht spezifisch für diese Art von nordamerikanischer Folkmusik

agree  lisa23: Hillbilly-Musik
