Country music has been around for a long time. Country music originated in the southern United States in the 1920’s. Hip hop on the other hand only started in the 1970’s. It was developed in the south Bronx in New York City. Pop music has been around since the 1950’s. I think Country music is better than hip pop or pop music. Country music has better style, singers, and more meaning to the songs. Country music is by far the best. Country music’s style is like no other. Almost every country song

Hank Williams was the most significant figure to emerge in country music during the immediate post World War II period.(Starr Pg. 237) Country music is a genre that came from the United states in the 1920s from the southeastern area.

Country music also happened to be one of the first genres of modern American popular

My wife and I celebrated our two-year anniversary in August. “Whatever It Is” by Zac Brown and Keith Stegall had been on the radio for years when we met. It is funny how a song written so far in advance of an event can still mean so much in a person’s life. "Whatever It Is" exemplifies the adoring relationship I have with my wife in the way it makes me smile and want to sing, the way the lyrics remind me of all the ways I appreciate and love her, and because it was our wedding song. I am told

Republican presidents have often visited the spiritual home of country music, the Grand Ole Opry. Many of them think country music is a way of showing American pride. Country Music worships cowboy pride as well. Many country music artists have taken their genre of music way outside Nashville. A well known artist who became a country prodigy, also known as the “Man In Black”, Johnny cash, triumphed his way into fame by using his songs and lyrics to relate to others. Many country music artists

Johnny Cash was born in February 26, 1932 (“upvenue.com”). He was a much loved child by his parents and his siblings. He had 6 siblings, 3 brothers, 3 sisters. When he was young he and his family moved to a small farm, and that’s where he first started to get inspiration for his songs and his stories. Most of his songs and stories that he wrote were about what was around him and what was happening in his life. This farm that they moved to is where his passion for singing and songwriting started.

Music varies drastically between different genres in many ways and the people that listen to a specific genre have different reasons as well. When listening to country, many songs are about having a good time and enjoying life while hip-hop focuses around issues in society and how those issues affect people. Both genres express feelings that the artist has about the world and reactions. Many people listen to different genres for many different reasons for example, what they have grown up around,

Country music is amazing and nobody can convince me otherwise. Apparently, a lot of people these days don’t like being told a story through music. They prefer listening to a common beat and lyrics that anyone could come up with. They think that country music is all about the same thing when really it tells stories of everyone. People have just stopped listening to the lyrics, because who cares anyways? They have weird accents and I don’t want to be associated with white trash anyways. They bash on

The song I chose for the listening guide is “Crystalize” by Lindsey Sterling. The song was released as a music video on her YouTube channel. Lindsey Sterling, an American violinist, dancer, performance artist and composer, picked up learning the violin at age 5. Since then Sterling was in a band at age 16, introduced her own YouTube channel in 2007, and was a quarter finalist on Americas Got Talent in 2010. Americas Got Talent gained her both popularity and more traffic on her YouTube Channel and

The music industry varies tremendously by genres, feelings, and messages of the song. The genre of the songs I chose is country. Neither of these songs have a negative outlook, unlike most country music nowadays. In the country music world, dearth something other than just breakups and sad outlooks. Not every song as the same exact meanings, but can have the same concept. The songs “When It Rains It Pours” by Luke Combs and “Rain Is a Good Thing” by Luke Bryan have several similarities and differences

Background Information I decided to do this report over the artist, Joanne Shenandoah. I found her on Spotify and took a quick interest in her music. Joanne is a popular Native American musician. She is an acoustic guitarist, but she also sings and composes music (“Joanne Shenandoah,” 2017). In the Oneida language, her name means “she sings” (Wright, n.d.). I think this is the perfect name for her because she has a beautiful voice and such a broad career in music and singing. When she was a young
