"folk Music Is Just Country" No, It's A Square/rectangle Thing. Folk Music Is The Music Of The People,

"folk music is just country" no, it's a square/rectangle thing. Folk music is the music of the people, it's the musical colloquial that preserves history and mythology, telling a story or speaking to the times, and it changes drastically from place to place. In much of the southern/southwestern US, the genre of "country" music was the predominant peoples music, telling and preserving stories and myths from that region. 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.
