The roots of country music come from the Southern Appalachian region of the US and can be traced back over 100 years. This toe-tapping genre of music started with fiddle players from that region, and by the late 1920s, Jimmie Rodgers emerged as the first great country vocalist. Kitty Wells was a pioneering female country artist.
Lovers of country music appreciate all kinds of artists and tracks, no matter where they come from. And while Nashville is still regarded as the capital of the country music world, wandering country listeners can find plenty of satisfaction farther afield. Did you know, for instance, that there’s a thriving country music scene in Denmark?
