Country music
From Wikiquote
Country music is a genre of American popular music that began in the rural regions of the Southern United States in the 1920s.[1] It takes its roots from southeastern American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history.[2] Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas.[3][4][5]
