		The primary traditional difference between the two styles is that country music is simpler and uses fewer instruments, relying on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and harmonica, whereas the music of the Southwest tends toward steel guitars and big bands whose style verges on swing (e.g., The Light Crust Doughboys).
		Bluegrass, exemplified by Bill Monroe, is a style of country and western music distinguished by a driving, syncopated rhythm, high-pitched vocals, and an emphasis on the banjo, mandolin, and fiddle.
		Country and western music is directly descended from the folk songs, ballads, and popular songs of the English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the U.S. southeastern seaboard.

	A History of Country Music
		If country music represented the quintessential American values, and a positive attitude towards the American way of life, others (harking back to the epics of the itinerant "hobos") were seeing through the American Dream and confronting the issues of poverty, fascism and racism.
		Country music, even in states that were rapidly urbanizing such as Texas, had been catering mainly to the countryside.
		In Texas, country music coexisted shoulder to shoulder with "tex-mex", the music (accordion-driven, and based on polka and waltz) of the chicanos.

		Country music lyrics about workers reveal that the men and women they portray are aware of their status as members of the working class, sometimes painfully so.
		Despite the frequent references in country music lyrics to the working class status of its writers and performers, and of the music's audience, country music is devoid of practically any hint of class consciousness.
		Country music lyrics also reveal why trade unionism and class consciousness, despite the overwhelming evidence of class awareness, are not supported by the music's working class audience.

		Country Life is the second LP of the latter grouping, and it probably is the highpoint of the band's career (although its predecessor, Street Life, is stiff competition).
		Musically the album is a fairly varied affair, ranging from hard rock to swirling psychedelia ("Out of the Blue" with Eddie Jobson's flanged violin/keyboards, is classic) to more-or-less straight blues and almost-country stylings.
		Country Life has the band playing well and their sound moving towards the sound they would perfect on their next album, 1975's Siren(that album would also feature the same lineup as on this album).

	* Dusted Reviews - V/A *
		Since the first commercial recordings of white, rural vernacular music from the American south in the 1920s, a rich and fertile loam has brought forth the roots and branches of the styles that have come to be called Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Western, Country, Honky-tonk.
		This was music often deeply rooted in tales of history, legend, home, and the land, so it made sense that women’s voices were heard early on.
		This was a time before commercial country music found and replicated formulas for success; thus, the pieces here make for an exhilarating display of strong individual voices and unique stylistic approaches.

		Since female performers were not particularly popular in the late'60s, the label decided to protect their investment by releasing her first single as a duet with Wagoner.
		The duo was named Vocal Group of the Year in 1968 by the Country Music Association, but Parton 's solo records were continually ignored.
		Wagoner and Parton were both frustrated by her lack of solo success, because he had a significant financial stake in her future -- as of 1969, he was her co-producer and owned nearly half of the publishing company Owepar.

		One of nine children in a farming family, Watson grew up in a musical environment; his mother, Annie, had a vast knowledge of folk songs and his father, General Dixon, played banjo and led his family in nightly hymn singing.
