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 tak
e me to mountains and fields.
Country music is usually about everyday life and feelings. It’s t
he spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple.
Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the
folk music of the American countryside. Many of the songs tell about t
he 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 c
ountry 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.
