What can be more interesting other than getting into the discussion on the country and western music in US. It is very difficult to trace the origin of the American music as the country and western music in US draws its resources from various sources like Irish dance melodies, English and Scotch music, ballads and even folk songs. Americans are basically migrated race and so, they are not so lucky to have original musical trend rather, American music is a derivative of intermixing of different musical trends. And, thus, the country and western music in US can be labeled as “fusion” from the very beginning. People of varied races brought the sense of music with them from their respective native lands at the time of migrating to the United States of America and then incorporated the same into the mainstream music in USA which later on came to be known as “American music”.
Scottish Irish based music is still highly popular among the Americans and these are marked as “hillbilly music” or “folk music” or even “country music.”| These type of music is still a must as a form of entertainment in case of local barn dances and rural festivals. Interestingly, in 1930s country music became a part of western music. This was the period when Hollywood was infected with cowboy movies. Country performers started singing western songs in western films and gradually, people started associating folk music with the western tune and a new genre of music came into prominence called “Country Western Music”. This is how we get the concept of country and western music in US. To know more about the US culture , log on to ustourshub.com.
