This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1927.
Rodgers makes his first recordings on August 4 for the Victor Talking Machine Company at Bristol, Tennessee, of "The Soldier's Sweetheart" and "Sleep, Baby, Sleep." The latter did well, but "Sleep" drew little interest, until late in 1927, it took off and became his first hit.[1]
The Carter Family's recordings are also made that month; their first release is the double-sided hit "Wandering Boy" and "Poor Orphan Child."
November 30 – Jimmie Rodgers participates in his second recording session, recording four sides at Camden, New Jersey: "Ben Dewberry's Final Run," "Mother Was a Lady (If Brother Jack Were Here)," "Blue Yodel ('T' for Texas)," and "Away Out on the Mountain."
Note: "MY MOTHER WAS A LADY" was originally titled "IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE". First pressings of Victor 21433 show the incorrect title, subsequent pressings were corrected to read MY MOTHER WAS A LADY with IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE in parenthesis.
August 12 – Porter Wagoner – enduring Grand Ole Opry star, television host, duet partner of Dolly Parton, singer of hits including "A Satisfied Mind" and "The Carroll County Accident" (died 2007).
