Country music is one of the most popular music genres of the 20th and 21st century. This video presents the highlights of the first five generations of country music. Though it originated in the 1920s, it still remains an important part of music. As usual, I used the trusty website "Dave's Music Database" as my source. If this video is well received, there will be a second part with 50 more country songs. Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in Southern United States, in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas. --Song list-- 1928 Wildwood Flower - The Carter Family 1935 Can the Circle Be Unbroken (Bye and Bye) - The Carter Family 1938 Wabash Cannonball - Roy Acuff & the Smoky Mountain Boys 1941 Walking the Floor Over You - Ernest Tubb 1949 I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams 1949 Lovesick Blues - Hank Williams 1950 Faded Love - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys 1950 I’m Moving On - Hank Snow 1951 Hey, Good Lookin’ - Hank Williams 1952 The Wild Side of Life - Hank Thompson 1952 It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels - Kitty Wells 1953 Your Cheatin’ Heart - Hank Williams 1955 Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford 1956 I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash 1956 Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash 1956 Crazy Arms - Ray Price 1958 Oh Lonesome Me - Don Gibson 1959 He’ll Have to Go - Jim Reeves 1959 The Battle of New Orleans - Johnny Horton 1959 El Paso - Marty Robbins 1961 Hello Walls - Faron Young 1961 Crazy - Patsy Cline 1961 I Fall to Pieces - Patsy Cline 1962 I Can’t Stop Loving You - Ray Charles 1963 Act Naturally - Buck Owens 1963 Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash 1963 Sweet Dreams of You - Patsy Cline 1965 Make the World Go Away - Eddy Arnold 1965 King of the Road - Roger Miller 1968 Harper Valley P.T.A. - Jeannie C.
