Abstract

Country Music: A Very Short Introduction presents an overview of country music and its impact on American culture. Country music has long been a marker of American identity; from popular culture to politics, it has provided a soundtrack to national life. While traditionally associated with the working class, country music’s appeal is far broader than any other popular music style. While this music rose from the people, it is also a product of the popular music industry, and the way the music was marketed to its audience is a key part of its story. This VSI considers country music’s roots and development, and describes key artists, songs, and musical styles.
