Country
Music
 Country music
is a type of American popular music associated
with rural culture and the Southern region of the
United States. It developed in the 1800's,
combining elements of folk music from Great
Britain, the blues of Southern rural blacks,
popular songs of the late 1890's, and religious
music. Country music, sometimes called country and
western music, has been popular throughout the
world since the 1940's.
During the 1920's, most country singers and
instrumentalists came from such states as Georgia,
Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and
West Virginia. In the 1930's and 1940's, many
artists from Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and
Texas came to prominence.These performers created
a wide variety of country music styles that today
include bluegrass, Cajun, cowboy music,
honky-tonk, rockabilly, and western swing.
The musical instruments vary with each type
of country music, but some are common to nearly
all country groups. Instruments from many areas of
the world combined in the New World to form the
core of country music's instrumental sound. These
instruments include the fiddle from Great Britain,
the banjo from West Africa, the guitar from Spain,
and the mandolin from Italy. As country music came
under the influence of other kinds of music, other
instruments were added and altered the basic
sound. The piano, Hawaiian steel guitar, double
bass, horns, and reed instruments have all been
used in country music. Instruments that were
electronically amplified first appeared in country
music in the 1930's.
The story told in songs is an important part
of country music. Many country songs today use
direct language and realistic situations to
describe the real concerns of adults. Most country
songs are about love and romantic feelings. Many
are happy songs, but some explain the feelings of
loneliness, loss, and separation that result when
love or romance ends, or when married couples are
unfaithful. Some country songs are about work.
Others express sacred themes, reflecting the
importance of religion in Southern life. Some
country songs are about events in the news, and
some are humorous. Many old folk tunes are still
sung in country music.
Styles vary from one style of country music
to another. For example, bluegrass and other
“mountain music” styles feature a
high-pitched, nasal singing tone. Other singers
sound like pop music vocalists.
Country music developed from the folk and
religious music of the rural South. Beginning in
the 1600's, immigrants from the British Isles
brought their folk music to North America. This
music included fiddling and singing. Solo fiddlers
played dance music at social events, such as
country dances, weddings, and wakes. Ballads and
other folk tunes were often sung by one person,
alone or accompanied by a fiddle. The religious
music of the South included hymns and, beginning
in the late 1800's, gospel songs and spirituals.
Folk music in the South changed through
contact with other cultures. Between the
mid-1800's and about 1920 the banjo, guitar,
mandolin, and Hawaiian steel guitar were borrowed
from many folk music traditions. Various
combinations of these instruments were used both
with and without vocalists. By about 1920, the
string band, consisting of a fiddle, banjo, and
guitar, was the standard instrumental group.
String bands played dance music and folk tunes in
homes, at parties, and at country fairs.
During the early 1920's, country music
became available on records and on the radio.
Record companies set up temporary recording
studios in such Southern cities as Atlanta;Ga;
Charlotte, N.C; Dallas; and Memphis. The music
they recorded was often called hillbilly music,
partly because of a popular band called the
“Hill Billies.” Sometimes, country
entertainers were brought to New York City to
record.
Early country radio shows were broadcast
from cities as far north as Des Moines, Iowa, and
Chicago, but the music was still concentrated in
the South. There, it was broadcast from such
cities as Atlanta; Dallas; Fort Worth; Tex;
Shreveport; La; and Wheeling, W.Va. The most
important radio program to feature country
music-the “Grand Ole Opry”-was first broadcast
from Nashville in 1925 as the “Barn Dance.” It
is still broadcast today from a theater in
Opryland, an entertainment park near the city.
Country music continued to change in the
1930's. Many groups added drums, pianos, and
electric instruments to their sound. The singing
style became smoother, and the accompaniments
began to contain chords that sounded more like
those found in other popular music of the day. In
the late 1920s and early 1930's, the famous
country singer Jimmie Rodgers performed in a style
that combined country yodeling with black blues.
During the 1930's, radio stations broadcast
country music to many regions of the United
States. At the same time, Southerners moved to
other parts of the country, taking their music
with them. As a result, country music began to
gain national popularity. During World War II
(1930-1945), country music gained an international
audience when members of the United States armed
forces brought records to other countries. The
most popular performers of the 1930's and 1940's
included Roy Acuff, Gene Autry, the Carter family,
Jimmie Davis, Red Fley, Tex Ritter, Jimmie
Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, and Bob Wills.
During the 1950's, mainstream pop singers
recorded hits written by country composer and
singer Hank Williams. These songs include “Cold,
Cold Heart” and “Your Cheatin' Heart.” Kitty
Wells was the most popular solo female country
singer from the mid-1950's to the mid-1960's.
During the late 1950's and the 1960's, the country
music industry produced many records that blended
characteristics of country and pop music. Vocal
and string background ensembles became common, and
much of the music was electronically amplified.
This new style of country music was called the
Nashville Sound. Its leading performers included
Eddy Arnold, Patsy Cline, and Jim Reeves.
In the 1970's, many country singers became
national celebrities, and several became film and
television performers. Such singers as Crystal
Gayle, Loretta Lynn, Ronnie Milsap, Dlly Parton,
and Kenny Rogers had hit records in both the
country and popular markets.
Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Willie
Nelson, and other singers have supported a return
to a more basic, authentic country style. Many
country entertainers who began careers in the
1980's drew
inspiration from the roots of country music. Randy
Travis, the Judds, Reba McEntire, and George
Strait performed in styles associated with the
1950's and 1960's. Other stars, such as Alabama,
Hank Williams, Jr., and Restless Heart, combined
country music and rock. Lee Greenwood, Barbara
Mandrell, and K.T.Oslin explored the boundary
between country music and pop. |

Denvero·John
John Denver, b. Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., in
Roswell, N.Mex., Dec. 31, 1943, is a pop-folk
singer and songwriter. His early work, while more
sentimental and less musically complex than that
of his contemporaries Bob Dylan and Paul Simon,
reflected similar political concerns. His later
hit songs, including “Rocky Mountain High”
(1972),“Back Home Again” (1974), and“Thank
God I'm a Country Boy” (1975), have tended in
the direction of pop-country music. In 1977 he
starred with George Burns in the film Oh God. |
