History

Country grew up in the rural American South out of British folk tunes carried over by early settlers, mixed with Appalachian old-time music, cowboy songs, African-American spirituals and blues, gospel and even Hawaiian steel guitar. Until the 1940s the industry called it hillbilly music. The fiddle was there from the start, with banjo, mandolin, harmonica and acoustic, steel and resonator guitars around it, and songwriter Harlan Howard boiled the whole thing down to three chords and the truth. Records and radio turned it into a business in the 1920s. Fiddlin' John Carson cut The Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane for Okeh in 1923 and, pleased with the sales, joked that he would have to quit making moonshine and start making records. In August 1927 the Bristol sessions in Tennessee captured the Carter Family, and Congress later recognized Bristol as the birthplace of country music. Jimmie Rodgers' Blue Yodel sold over a million copies. Drums were long thought too loud for the music until Bob Wills put them into western swing in 1935. Later names filed under the style include Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, and in 2023 45 percent of Americans said they listen to country.
