events like love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the
way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated and difficult, it is good to hear
about simple ordinary people.

Country music is sometimes called country-western music. It 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 American West. The singers usually

music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South and
learned to like country music there. Slowly, it became popular all over the United States.
