Country music is very old. It came from the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Great Britain. Country music is a mixture of music from all of these places.

In the American West, cowboys had to take care of the cattle. They had to watch them all day and night because the cattle were nervous and sometimes ran away. A cowboy's life was lonely and dangerous. When he was alone in the desert with the cattle, he drank strong coffee with lots of caffeine to stay awake at night. He also sang music to the cattle to make them quiet. He sang about the stars and the moon, about his family and his friends. The cattle listened to the cowboy and went to sleep. They did not run away if he sang beautiful and peaceful music.

In the American South, many people came from Ireland, Scotland, and England. Other people came from France and Canada. They enjoyed their own kind of music. They used guitars, violins and harmonicas, too. They also added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When they visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving Day, they usually sang and played country music.

Country music describes life. It talks about love, jobs, home and money. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and highways, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music because everyone knows something about these ideas. Also, many country music fans wear Western clothes and dance together to country music. Many bands all over the world now perform country music.
