I consider Norman Blake and Ry Cooder music historians because they collect and record old and disappearing songs and types of music, thus preserving them and exposing them to contemporary listeners.
I consider Billy Bob to be a rude, self-inflated tool. I've listened to his music and there's nothing special about it. He's not preserving anything old or unusual. He's just pimping country music that's only borderline listenable at best. And that's being generous.
