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.
