Country

Country music is a genre that originated in the southern United States in the early 20th century. It blends folk, blues, and Western music traditions, featuring storytelling lyrics, acoustic instruments (like the guitar, banjo, and fiddle), and heartfelt themes about love, hardship, and everyday life. Over the years, country music has evolved into various subgenres, including honky-tonk, outlaw country, country pop, and modern country rock.
