A

Country music is one of the most popular music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love,sadness,good times and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated (复杂),it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music,sometimes called country western,comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars,and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps (军营) in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City,among black and white,and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English,and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.
