Country Music is as old as the hills, it is really derived from Folk Music from many
European countries, due to immigration of peoples from The UK, Hungary, Poland, Italy,
France, Spain and so on.
Country Music has been refined by Country people and settlers over the last two hundred
years or so into a refined presentation that we have today.
In recent years we see a shift to alternative ‘Country Music’, for instance Country Rock,
for the real Country Music enthusiasts, though, the ‘Real’ Country Music is what we can
hear from the last century, made popular by singers as Hank Williams, Roy Rogers, Jim Owen,
Gene Autrey, Elmer Pollon, Vernon Oxford and many others.
Country Music is a genre that has persisted for so long, is comfortable to listen to and
brings pleasure to young and old.
Long Live Country Music

GOD SAYS IN HIS WORD:
“I change not.”
…then why should country music change so drastically that it is unrecognizable to those of us who came up with purity in the music, the music of Hank Williams, the “early” Eddy Arnold, Red Foley,Webb Pierce, Carl Smith, Red Foley, Kitty Wells, Gene Autry, Vernon Oxford, Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubb and a host of others.
When we “kill” a great music, then it CANNOT be resurrected. Let’s hold on to what we still have, if only GREAT music from our archives of recorded hits from the past.
It is, in essence, our duty to do so, in being stewards and guardians of trust for those coming after us.
Musically,
Everett Corbin, former journalist, now songwriter/promoter for continuing “simplicity” in the preservation of country music as we once knew it.
