American Country Music
American country music, also known as
country-western or hillbilly music is rooted in
the folk songs of immigrants from Great Britain.
It has connections to other ethnic music found in
America as well. Country music uses simple
melodies and lyrics that express everyday
emotions such as loneliness, love, and grief. It
began with small groups of country musicians
singing and playing songs of love, hard times,
and social problems.

Blues and Jazz

• The blues most likely began as solo singing.
  These solo songs may have come from field
  hollers that slaves yelled while they toiled in
  the fields. They also may have come from story
  songs, called ballads, and other songs that were
  sung at lively dances. Blues singers made slight
  changes to original melodies and rhythm in order
  to add emotional expression, including sounds of
  moaning or crying. The emotions expressed were
  often sad and mournful.

  phrases when they sing or play the blues. One of
  Americas most famous blues singers was Bessie
  Smith (1894-1937).
