Classic Country
Country music, also called country and western music or country-western, is an amalgam
of popular musical forms developed in the southern United States, with roots in
traditional folk music, spirituals, and the blues.
However, country music is actually a catch-all category that embraces several
different genres of music: Nashville sound (the pop-like music very popular today);
bluegrass, a fast mandolin and fiddle-based music popularized by Bill Monroe and by
the Foggy Mountain Boys; Western which encompases traditional Western ballads and
Hollywood Cowboy Music, Western swing, a sophisticated dance music popularized by
Bob Wills; Bakersfield sound (popularized by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard); Cajun;
Zydeco; gospel; oldtime (generally pre-1930 folk music); honky tonk; Appalachian;
rockabilly; neotraditional country and jug band.
