Country
music is an amalgam of popular
musical forms that has its roots
in traditional folk music from
the South. Country music is a
catchall for the Nashville sound,
bluegrass, western ballads,
swing, Cajun, honky tonk,
Appalachian, rockabilly and jug
band music.
Although
there are various styles of
country music, it is unique in
the way its style is executed.
Many songs are recorded to fit
the style of country music and
those who sing it.
Famous
country music singers include Bob
Wills, Willie Nelson and George
Strait. Country music listeners
are mesmerized by the rhythms and
the structures of the chords. In
fact there are many songs that
are adapted to suit the country
music style like the Milk Cow
Blues tune - an early blues tune
composed by Kokomo Arnold.
Famous
singers like Bob Wills, Willie
Nelson, and George Strait have
all sung their own versions of
the Milk Cow Blues
Tune.
It was in
1924, when Vernon Dalhart
recorded “The Wreck of Old
97,” that Country music
really took off. At that time
other singers like Riley Pucket,
Fiddling John Carson and Charlie
Poole joined the country western
scene, further popularizing the
music.
The
popularity of country music
continues to
grow.
Country
music has its share of male and
female singers who, through the
years, have contributed greatly
to the long-standing popularity
of this music.
They
include well-known artists like,
Johnny Cash, Mary Chapin
Carpenter, Dixie Chicks, Faith
Hill, Tim McGraw, Patty Loveless,
Barbara Mandrell, Lonestar,
Shania Twain, Dwight Yoakam and
many others.
