| | Country music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In popular music, 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, Celtic Music, Blues, Gospel music, and Old-time music that began to develop rapidly | | | Even today the variety of country music is not usually well reflected in commercial radio airplay and the popular perception of country music is fraught with stereotypes of hillbillies and maudlin ballads. | | | Race issues play a large part in country music reception and the music has been praised for diversity and universality as well as criticised for its lack of those qualities and supposed racism. |

| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Country Music |
| | And though most country music and country music fans might advocate a straight and narrow conservative path, the lyrics of country songs deal with the dilemmas of life with a complexity not found in any other popular music. | | | Country music has a history that is deeply rooted in traditional white Southern working-class values, patriotism, conservative politics, and lyrics that tell the unblinking truth about life. | | | An old joke asks, "What do you get when you play a country record backwards?" The answer: "You get your wife back, your truck back, and your dog back." However, country music is much more than songs of hard luck in love and life. |

Over the next sixty years country music grew to be the most popular music format in the U.S. Some highlights from our coverage of that growth: |

| | Country - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music |
| | Country has a reputation for being simple, homespun music, defined by twangy vocals, moaning steel guitars, and lyrics about dogs, trucks, death, prison bars, and tears in one's beer. | | | These days country's got rock, soul, maybe a touch of jazz, and plenty of the blues, but when you're pining for a lost love or yearning for the smell of a mountain breeze (or your mama's cooking), there's nothing like a good country song to bring you back home. | | | But in reality, country covers a surprisingly large amount of territory--everything from Gene Autry's cowboy music to Bill Monroe's bluegrass, from Hank Williams' honky-tonk songs to the slick pop stylings of Faith Hill. |
