Country Music on Vinyl Records

Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the Southern United States in the 1920s. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music, blues, and gospel music, and its musical style is characterized by simple, often narrative lyrics, a strong backbeat, and a twangy, nasal vocal style. The genre has become popular worldwide, particularly in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It is generally performed by solo singers, duos, and groups, with instruments such as guitars, banjos, fiddles, and harmonicas.
