Dan Olson Voice: While many have their criticisms of the Golden Order, it can be difficult to question the legitimacy of a regime backed by the presence of a living and visible god.

Therefore, a lot of country music, specifically older country music, is folk music, but folk music as a genre is not interchangeable with country music. Folk music is found everywhere around the world, as an oral legacy passed down through generations of tradition, taking on different forms and meanings everywhere you look for it.
