Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events - love， sadness， good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds in the way people really talk. As life becomes hard for us， it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music， sometimes called country-western music， comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars， and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II， thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada， in small towns and among towns and in New York City， among black and white， and among educated and uneducated people. About 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English， and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
