Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today. Maybe country music is very popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events like love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated and difficult, it is good to hear about simple ordinary people.

Country music is sometimes called country-western music. It comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern of the United States. The other is traditional, cowboy music from the American West. The singers usually play guitars when they sing.

Country music became very popular in the South. During World War II, thousands of people from the South moved to the Northeast and the Midwest to work in factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South and learned to enjoy country music there. Slowly, it became popular all over the United States.
