country musicFor a long time in the 21st century, country music played a minor role within the pop music scene. Shortly after World War II, many new radio stations in urban areas focused primarily on this music, often accompanied by local advertising.

In the 1930s, country’s status was consolidated in the mainstream pop music landscape. The genre encompassed various types of musical performances, including folk dance, black Bruce, and spiritual music. This might be due to the large population of factory workers and military personnel moving to urban areas, creating a sense of homesickness that this music uniquely appealed to.

By the mid-1950s, two distinct styles of country emerged. Southern music adopted a more unrestrained musical style, while Southeastern folk music displayed a subtler country influence. These styles eventually gave rise to rock music.

Jimmie Rodgers’ mixed style, the Carter Family’s traditional approach, and Vernon Dalhart’s pop-influenced music collectively formed a new style known as country music.

Any discussion about 1990s country songs must mention Garth Brooks. His record sales were unparalleled in the country genre, and his concerts showcased the essence of this music.

The 1990s generation was heavily influenced by rock music, and as a result, country was also affected. During this time, rural radio stations played both traditional country and modern country tunes.

This decade is often considered the peak of country, but it differed significantly from the “Urban Cowboy” era of the 1980s. Country in the 1990s experienced stable growth, and when rock music dominated most radio stations, rural radio stations united to counteract the rock music invasion. According to an association, around 285 radio programs promoted country through sports and interview programs.
