Typically, country music involves guitars, bass, drums, and even harmonicas or banjos.

    Folk music is a traditional form of music that was revived when popular mainstream artists brought back old folk songs.

    About Country Music

    Some people say that country music began on August 1, 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee. On this day, Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family signed recording contracts for Victor Records. Ralph Peer was the talent scout who also recorded the music. Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family were among the first professional country music stars. They influenced future artists such as Academy of Country Music Awards in many ways. Jimmie Rodgers, called the "Father of Country Music," paved the way with simple yet popular songs. He was paid $100 for his first test recordings with Victor Records. Although that was a lot of money in the 1920's, it sounds like pocket change compared to the millions of dollars that country music stars like Academy of Country Music Awards make today. Yet, Jimmie Rodgers plays an important part in the history of country music. Stars of today, such as Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and Academy of Country Music Awards, can trace their roots back to him.

    The Carter Family has been named one of the most influential groups in country music. Starting in 1927, they recorded about 300 ballads, traditional songs, and Gospel hymns.

Members of The Carter Family included Mother Maybelle Addington Carter, Sara Dougherty, and Sara's husband, Alvin Pleasant Carter. Mother Maybelle played guitar and sang harmony. Sara Dougherty played autoharp and sang alto, and Alvin Pleasant played the fiddle and sang bass. Mother Maybelle was called the "Queen of Country Music". Her daughter, June, later married superstar Johnny Cash. Growing from roots in Tennessee, country music has become one of the most popular forms of music in America today.
