Like an old truck with a new engine, country music really started to rev-up in the late 1950s and good traction into the ‘60s. During a time when Rock and Roll was all the rage, Country Music paved its own way setting a strong foundation with deep roots in folk, blues, Appalachian, Cajun, and corrido, transforming into its own style from ballads that tell stories, to Honky Tonk, Bakersfield, and Rock-a-Billy. Ordinary people with everyday problems making songs about real life that are relatable. The Golden Age of Country music continues to shine on like a sweet summer sunset. Look for "Jackson", "Walkin’ After Midnight", "Steel Guitar Rag", "Stand By Your Man", "Help Me Make it Through the Night", "I Walk The Line", "I’m A Honky Tonk Girl", "Hey Good Lookin’", "I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Crazy", and more.
