Country/Folk is a music genre that combines elements of traditional country and folk styles, emphasizing storytelling, acoustic instrumentation, and rural themes. It originated in the early 20th century in the United States and has since played a pivotal role in the evolution of popular music. Signature sounds include the use of string instruments like guitars, banjos, and fiddles, coupled with a distinctly raw, authentic vocal style. Influential artists in this genre include Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dylan, whose works have significantly shaped the landscape of American music.
