Introduction to country music:

Country music is a kind of popular music with American national characteristics, which rose in the southern United States in the 1920s. Its roots come from English folk songs and it is the representative of American white folk music. Country music is characterized by simple melody, stable rhythm, strong narrative, strong local flavor, kindness and enthusiasm without losing popular elements.

Most of them are ballads in two or three parts. This name appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. At that time, the content of songs, in addition to expressing work and life, hated lonely and wandering life, yearned for a warm and peaceful home, and sang sweet love and the pain of lovelorn.

From 65438 to 0925, a radio station was established in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. They started a column of an old play-the voice of fellow villagers. An 8 1 year-old folk singer named Jamie Thompson was invited to sing, and the program was warmly welcomed by the audience. Since then, people have collectively referred to this kind of music as "country music". Country music has become one of the favorite music forms of American working people. In America, "blue collar" refers to the lower class, so this kind of music is also called "blue collar music".
