Origin of Country
Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the southern United States in the early 1920s. It takes its roots from genres such as folk music, especially Native American folk, and blues. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms, folk lyrics, and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars, and fiddles. Country guitar is usually characterised by a 12 bar blues, played over each section key in both major and minor keys. Country music is usually associated with whisky and inbreeding.
