1500-1920 The Origins of Country Music

Storytelling through song was a tradition which began in the Middle Ages as a way for people to pass on their history through generations. These Old World "old " songs were brought over[1] to America by the first British settlers and, over time, the New World became the backdrop for these tales of hardship and heartache. By the early 1900s, the seeds had been planted for "mountain music" (aka "string hand") to grow out of its local origins into what would soon be popularized at the Grand Ole Opry.

Noteworthy Artists include:

1500-1920乡村音乐的起源

从中世纪起上一辈人用歌曲的形式给下一代讲述其历史已经成为一种传统。最先到美洲的英国人把这些旧时代的“老”歌带到了美国。随着时间的流逝，新大陆逐渐变为那些艰难和心痛的传说的背景。直到1900年代初期，山区音乐的种子已经开始萌芽于起源地之外,后来在Grand Ole Opry风靡一时。
