Are you interested in country music? I like
it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars
and songs will take me to mountains and fields. Country music usually talks of
everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America, easy to understand,
slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was
the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of
farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.
The life of the countryside can
be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played
the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the
1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into
records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for
work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and
became popular across America. John Denver was one of America's most famous
country singers in the 1970s. His song "Take Me home, Country Roads"
is well-known and people still play it today.
