100 years of country Music Explore the Sub-Genre's and the Evolution of Country Music Country Music has been a prominent part of American culture over the years. From its roots as "hillbilly music," also known as "Southern Music," Country Music has gone through a major transformation. Drawing influences from blues and gospel, Country Music was classified as an independent genre by record producers in 1949 – effectively replacing the term "hillbilly" with "country and western." Thanks to advancements made in radio technology, Country Music spread across various areas throughout the US and began to connect with new audiences. Moreover, this style of music resonated deeply during the Great Depression and World War II because of its relatable themes surrounding grief and loneliness – mirrored in most Americans’ daily lives. What wonderfully intricate stories are we likely to find if we explore further into these genres? Let's go on an exciting adventure to unearth more about this ever-evolving American Music !
