Country music, originating in the Appalachian Mountains and the Southern territories of the United States in the 1920s, was a blend of gospel, Celtic, and folk music. In those days was simply called ìhillbilly music.î However, by the 1940s, the name ìcountry musicî and ìcountry and western musicî was coined. However, in the United States, the term ìcountry musicî became predominant, while in Britain and Ireland the term ìcountry and western musicî still sticks. Today, the term ìcountry musicî has lost its early ethnic and cultural meanings and is a general term for a variety of different styles. In fact, Elvis Presley was originally considered a country music player, but then his particular variation of it came to be called rock and roll because of his hip-gyrations while singing. Today, country music is a huge part of the music industry. Garth Brooks, a solo Country artist, ranks as the top selling musician in the world.
