	Roughstock's History of Country Music - Garth & New Country
		Country Music is embarking on a new era in 1997.

		Country music has a history that is deeply rooted in traditional white Southern working-class values, patriotism, conservative politics, and lyrics that tell the unblinking truth about life.
		And though most country music and country music fans might advocate a straight and narrow conservative path, the lyrics of country songs deal with the dilemmas of life with a complexity not found in any other popular music.
		Country music's earliest roots are found in the ballads of the Appalachian Mountains, songs that stemmed from a tradition brought to America by the English, Scots, and Irish who settled that territory.

		Country has achieved its new luster without abandoning its heritage: a heritage so stubbornly rooted in storytelling and simple melody that it has never quite left behind the farm in Poor Valley, Va., where a moody lumberman named A.P.

		Country is the nation's most popular music format, with the largest number of radio stations and fans all over.
		Hank, ne Hiram, Williams made what is widely considered to be the loveliest country music recorded in the '40s and early '50s, and had an unmatched ability to glory in sin on one song, repent on the next and carry off both with conviction and hangdog cool.

	Twang Is Not a Color - Black Artists in Country Music
		However, in implying that fl is an image white country music audiences cannot embrace, the industry has managed not only to misread its audience and lose potential new stars, but to negate its own history.
		In order to prove they belong in country music, male artists often feel they must adhere to the cowboy look as presently defined by such artists as George Strait, Mark Chesnutt, Alan Jackson, etc. This approach is probably sound and may even be critical.
		Black artists have often chosen to compose and present songs that are, stylistically, of the honky-tonk sub-genre of country music, the sub-genre labeled as "traditional country" in today’s country music field.
