On this page, we've attempted to summarize the development of country music in a family tree.
Where it originated, what influences it had, and where it branched off from.
The family tree speaks for itself, so we've included only a brief text on each genre below.
There are so many great books about "Country Music" available, but this family tree is unique!
We added some examples for each country music style with short sound samples.
It was also important to us to present the development of country music chronologically,
because with some artists, you might think they were the first to do it,
or some styles emerged later or earlier than you think.
There are also "Sound Samples", so you can hear what you are reading immediately.
(The sound samples are not always the most famous hits, but rather from the beginning of their career when the new genre was created/started.)
So if you're interested in the stories and all the background informations,
you have to buy one ore more of the great books out there.
If you want to learn about the development of country music and hear musical examples,
you've come to the right place.
WHAT IS COUNTRY MUSIC? "COUNTRY MUSIC IS ANY RECORD "COUNTRY RADIO" WILL PLAY AND "COUNTRY FANS" WILL BUY!"
Note: We haven't added any pictures of country musicians.
I'm sure everyone knows how Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Garth Brooks .... and all the other country stars & bands look.
COUNTRY MUSIC FAMILY TREE
(Click family tree to enlarge)
First a quick look at the most important instruments in "Country Music" and where they came from:
Fiddle - from Europe (Italy, first attempts in Spain)
Banjo - from Africa (West Africa)
Guitar - from Europe (Spain)
Steel Guitar - from Hawaii (later USA)
Pedal Steel Guitar - from USA
Bass - from Europe (Italy)
Dobro - from USA (by Slovak immigrant)
Piano - from Europe (Italy)
Percussions/Drums - probably the oldest instrument in the world.
The first drum set was built in the USA.
"In the beginning"
"Country Music" as we know it, began to take shape in the end of the 19th century.
A mixture of European folk music, African folk music & Classical music was mixed into "Worksongs" and "Spiritual music".
That became String Band Music, American Folk Music, Blues, Gospel and Jazz.
The first settlers in the South brought fiddles from Ireland, Scottland and England.
"Early 1920s"
The phonograph was becoming a common household item, joined soon after by the radio.
Country musicians began appearing on the new medium of radio. They performed live, and there were still hardly any recordings of old-time music.
The audience responds enthusiastically to the shows, and soon regular programs are established, the so-called "Barn Dance Shows".
The music played on those "National Barn Dances" was a lot of vauderville, barbershop quartets, polka bands and some kind of cowboy songs.
But a new musical genre was born, the most popular being "Old Time Music".
The first one to make a "Country" record was "Eck Robertson" in the summer of 1922, released in April 1923. It was, by all accounts, "Country Music's" first release!
"Eck Robertson's" versions of the old-time fiddle tunes "Sallie Gooden" and "Arkansaw Traveler".
In June 1923, "Fiddllin' John Carson&qout; recorded the single "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane" with B-side "The Old Hen Cackled and the Rooster's Going to Crow".
This was the first hit in "Country Music".
Note: It was "Billboard" who called 1949 the music "Country Music", before 1949 it was "Hillybilly Music"!

November 28th, 1925, "The Grand Ole Opry" goes on air for the first time!
The early "Opry" was a heady mixture of hard-core string bands, traditional singers, down-home gospel quartets and robust banjo players like "Uncle Dave Macon".
"Jimmie Rodgers" & "The Carter Family" - 1927"
Prior to "Jimmie Rodgers" or "The Carter Family" there was "string band" music, mostly instrumental (fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin or autoharp or harmonica) - and they started to add vocals.
"Ralph Peer" was the first music industry executive to seriously pursue what is now known as "Country Music".
He also discovered and promoted the first major stars. For his achievements, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1984.
"Ralph Peer" who recorded "Fiddlin' John Carson" 1923, drove 1927 with a mobile recording studio to Bristol, Tennessee to record dozen of musicians.
"The Bristol Sessions" were a series of recording sessions held in 1927, considered by some as the "Big Bang" of "Country Music".
"The Bristol Sessions" marked the commercial debuts of "Jimmie Rodgers" and "The Carter Family".
As a result of the influence of these recoring sessions, Bristol has been called the "BIRTHPLACE OF COUNTRY MUSIC".
 Jimmie Rodgers |
"The Carter Family" recorded on August 1st and 2nd 1927 following songs:
- Bury me under the weeping Willow "Jimmie Rodgers" recorded on Augst 4th 1927:
- The Soldier's Sweetheart |
 The Carter Family |
"Jimmie Rodgers" added authentic blues lyrics from Afro-American folk song, jazzy dance-band accompaniments, and a cool, catchy, vibrant vocal style that is still finding its way into the work of Nashville's young and restless.
"The Carter Family", more traditional and less flashy, influenced the music in ways that were subtle but no less significant.

French an Spain colonists, African slaves and Native Americans.

and "Jimmie Davis" who recorded Cajun favorites, helped bring. Cajun music to a much wieder country music audience.

"Rockabilly - 1954"
"Rock'n'Roll" was developed in the early 1950s. It's a fusion of "Rhythm & Blues", "Country" "Jazz" and "Gospel".The identity of the first rock and roll record is one of the most enduring subjects of debate among rock historians.
But one of the first "Rock'n'Roll" songs was "Rocket 88", recorded 1951 by "Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats" (that's Ike Turner's band).
"Bill Haley's" "Rock Around the Clock" released in 1954 was the first "Rock'n'Roll" record to achieve significant commercial success.

In the mid-1950s, fewer and fewer country records were sold.
"Chet Atkins" is considered the founder and chief architect of the "Nashville Sound".
Along with other influential figures such as producer "Owen Bradley", as well as sound engineer "Bill Porter".
This sound was completetly different and was moving away from the style of "Jimmie Rodgers" or "Hank Williams".
It's a smooth and polished sound with strings instead of fiddles, a chorus instead of a background singer ... !
Note: "Music Row" is the name given to the historic Nashville neighborhood centered on 16th and 17th Avenues that became the heart of the music industry with recording studios and record labels,

"Americana / Alternative Country / Roots Music - mid90s"
In the 1990s, radio consulting was driven by the wave of deregulation and market consolidation, particularly with the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which allowed large conglomerates to acquire numerous stations.
This shifted consulting from focusing on local market differences to a national model, it led to less diverse playlists, the suppression of local programming,
and the rise of "monopolies" that favored mainstream artists and national advertising strategies.
The focus on national, market-tested formats made it harder for independent or less mainstream artists to get airplay.
Local DJs who previously had the power to champion new music and tailor content to local tastes were increasingly sidelined in favor of national programming directives.
As a result, many, mostly independent, artists or record labels had no chance of being played on the radio.
"Rolling Stone" magazine notes:
"Americana" first came to fashion as a descriptive musical phrase in the mid-Nineties, when a group of radio promoters and industry outsiders dispersed throughout
Nashville, California and Texas sought to carve out a distinct marketplace for a wave of traditionally minded songwriters and artists whose work was no longer being served by a country music industry.
This new style of music reflected a renewed interest in traditional American music forms, and it helped to establish Americana music as a distinct and important genre in its own right.
"Americana Music" got its own charts and awards.
Many former "Country Music" artists like, Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle ... switched to the "Americana" genre.

"The New Millenium"
Following "New Country" and "Americana", country music continued to evolve, with modern country artists blending influences from (Southern) rock, pop, blues, and soul.
Simultaneously, new forms emerged incorporating elements of hip-hop and R&B into "Country Music".
Beyonce's 2024 album "Cowboy Carter" also exemplifies this evolution, blending traditional country music with other genres and the history of Black artists.
As I already wrote at the beginning of this page:
"COUNTRY MUSIC IS ANY RECORD "COUNTRY RADIO" WILL PLAY AND "COUNTRY FANS" WILL BUY!"
For all the "Country Music" styles described on this page, there are still artists who cultivate the style and continue the tradition.
Whether it's Western Swing, Bluegrass, Traditional Country, Country Rock ... some even better and, of course, more successful than the "inventors" of the music genre.
In celebration of "The 50th Annual CMA Awards", CMA has created the biggest music video in Country Music history.
Titled "Forever Country", the single and accompanying music video features 30 CMA Award-winning acts and is combining three songs:
"Country Roads", "On The Road Again" and "I Will Always Love You".
This video is "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" from the second "Circle Album" by "The Nitty Gritt Dirt Band" with a lot of "Country Music" and related artists..
