The Status of Country Music

                                          

As a fan of Country Music you could say I and yourself would have to retrace a few years back to  actually get a root feel for this topic. Let’s take a look at the term country music. Country Music is considered by many to be a music depicted from deep rooted traditional living. Now what I mean by deep rooted traditional living is coming from a time of being raised up experiencing small town USA, large families having less than others and making do with what you had.

There are many songs that tell stories of how life existed when family triumphs and hardships bellowed out in these songs of how America lived,loved,cried,laughed, and  endured. I’ve had many conversations with people whom expressed their views that Country Music derived from folk,blues, and gospel music. Country Music may still have stories to tell about a life experience. The one remaining fact stands out today. Country Music has changed greatly in genre from a sound of steel guitars,fiddles,banjos, and mandolins to Les Paul Telecasters,Stratocasting streaming rock guitars and sexuality imaged expressions that sells to a demographic audience whose ideals have taken the place of traditional past  preceded generations who have a completely different definition for the term country music.

The status of today’s country music will perhaps continue to change it’s identity, but will ever continue to be a mystery of misunderstanding to those pioneers who have preceded today’s warriors of change.
