	Country music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Country music, also known as country and western music or country-western, is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States.
		Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are widely considered to be the founders of country music, and their songs were first captured at an historic recording session in Bristol, Tennessee on August 1, 1927, where Ralph Peer was the talent scout and sound recordist.
		Even today the variety of country music is not usually well reflected in commercial radio airplay and the popular perception of country music is fraught with stereotypes of hillbillies and maudlin ballads.

Carter and his clan picked up guitars seven decades ago and invented the Carter Scratch.
		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.

	Can women save country music? - Salon
		By now everyone who cares even casually about true country music knows the story of how Nashville was taken over by evil robots -- it happened sometime in the '60s, '70s, '80s or '90s, depending on who's telling the story -- and of how country radio subsequently went to hell in a multimillion-dollar handbasket.
		Even if an artist's presence on country radio represents a certain kind of success or acceptance, there's no doubt that "real" country is always happening in the margins, in clubs and coffeehouses, and on smaller labels or self-produced records.
		For one thing, there's the enormous bluegrass revival sparked by the popularity of the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (Country radio continues to ignore that phenomenon, despite the fact that the "O Brother" soundtrack sold some 6 million copies.) Then there are the tremendous artistic strides being made by women in country.

		Country music bucked the trend of declining album sales last year, posting a 12.3% gain, while sales in all music categories went down 8.7%.
		The success of country music is ironic, Wells said, given that the culture is becoming more urbanized and a minority of people live in the rural America that gave rise to the genre.
		But a new generation of music fans has grown up exposed to both country and pop, and is more comfortable listening to artists who incorporate both elements in their music, he said.

	Does Political Correctness Belong in Country Music?
		Even more disturbing, the fundamental foundation of country music-- "the truth"-- has given way to that phenomenon called "political correctness." At one time, there was no subject that country music was afraid to tackle.
		No, country music was never a shrinking violet when it came to songs about the darker side of life, nor did it back down from controversial issues.
		There are plenty of country artists on the fringes, the Indies that are playing the good, the bad and the ugly sides of country music, and they’re not worried about being politically correct or offending anyone.
