COUNTRY MUSIC
The country music it has roots in traditional folk
music, Celtic music, blues, gospel music, hokum, and old-time music and
evolved rapidly in the 1920s. The term country music began to be used in the
1940s when the earlier term hillbilly music was deemed to be degrading, and
the term was widely embraced in the 1970s, while country and western has
declined in use since that time. In the Southwestern United States a different mix of
ethnic groups from
Johnny Cash the "Man In Black," is one of
the best and one of the most influential country singers of all time. Many songs have been adapted to different country
music styles. One example is the tune "Milk Cow Blues," an early
blues tune by Kokomo Arnold that has been performed in a wide variety of
country styles by many artists including Patsy Cline, Ricky Nelson, Willie
Nelson,
