Country also called country and western is a genre of popular music that takes its roots from genres such as blues and old-time music , and various types of American folk music including Appalachian , Cajun , and the cowboy Western music styles of Red Dirt , New Mexico , Texas country , and Tejano. Its popularized roots originate in the Southern United States of the early s. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms, folk lyrics, and harmonies mostly accompanied by string instruments such as banjos , electric and acoustic guitars , steel guitars such as pedal steels and dobros , and fiddles as well as harmonicas. According to Lindsey Starnes, the term country music gained popularity in the s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music ; it came to encompass Western music , which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the midth century.
