      Overview of Country music

      Country music is a genre that originated in the southern United States in the early 1920s. It was formed by combining traditional folk music with gospel and blues elements. The genre was popularized by radio broadcasts and recordings, leading to the emergence of stars such as Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family in the 1930s.

      During the 1940s and 1950s, country music continued to evolve, incorporating elements of swing, western, and honky-tonk music. The Nashville sound emerged in the late 1950s, characterized by slick production and a more polished sound. The 1960s saw the emergence of outlaw country, a subgenre that rejected the Nashville sound in favor of a rawer, more rebellious sound.

      In the 1970s and 1980s, country music became more mainstream, with crossover hits and the emergence of country-pop. The 1990s saw the rise of neo-traditional country, a return to traditional country music values and sounds.
