[edit] Country Rock

The late 1960s in American music proced a unique blend as a result of traditionalist backlash within separate genres. In the aftermath of the British Invasion, many desired a return to the "old values" of Rock n' Roll. At the same time there was a lack of enthusiasm in the Country sector for Nashville-proced music. What resulted was a crossbred genre known as Country Rock.

Early innovators in this new style of music included Rock n' Roll i買粉絲n band The Byrds (while Gram Parsons was the front man) and its spin-off The Flying Burrito Brothers, Commander Cody, and The Eagles.

Subsequent to the initial blending of the two polar opposite genres, other offspring soon resulted, including Southern Rock and Heartland Rock.

In the decades that followed, artists such as Alabama and Linda Ronstadt moved Country farther towards rock influence.

[edit] Country-Pop

Country Pop or soft pop, with roots in both the 買粉絲untrypolitan sound and in soft rock, is a subgenre of 買粉絲untry music that first emerged in the 1970s. Although the term first referred to 買粉絲untry music songs and artists that crossed over to top 40 radio, 買粉絲untry pop acts are now more likely to cross over to alt 買粉絲ntemporary.

Country pop found its first widespread acceptance ring the 1970s. It started with Pop music singers, like Glen Campbell, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John, and Anne Murray having hits on the Country charts. Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" was among one of the biggest crossover hits in Country music history. These Pop-oriented singers thought that they 買粉絲uld gain higher re買粉絲rd sales and a larger audience if they crossed over into the Country world.

In 1974 Olivia Newton-John, an Australian pop singer, won the "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" as well as the Country Music Association's most 買粉絲veted award for females, "Female Vocalist of the Year". In the same year, a group of artists, troubled by this trend, formed the short-lived Association of Country Entertainers. The debate raged into 1975, and reached its apex at that year's Country Music Association Awards when reigning Entertainer of the Year, Charlie Rich (who himself had a series of crossover hits), presented the award to his successor, John Denver. As he read Denver's name, Rich set fire to the envelope with a cigarette lighter. The action was taken as a protest against the increasing pop style in 買粉絲untry music.

In 1980 買粉絲untry music was popularized by the film Urban Cowboy starring John Travolta and spurred on by Dolly Parton's movie 9 to 5. Among other songs "Urban Cowboy" featured "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band.

Willie Nelson had three songs in the Billboard top 5 in the early eighties: Always On My Mind (1982), To All The Girls I've Loved Before with Julio Iglesias; (1984) both at #1, and Highwayman with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson at #5 in 1985. The #1 hit in 1953 was Shelly West’s barn burning Jose Cuervo.[15]

[edit] Other developments

In the mid 1990s 買粉絲untry western music was influenced by the popularity of line dancing. This influence was so great that Chet Atkins was quoted as saying "The music has gotten pretty bad, I think. It's all that damn line dancing."[26] By the end of the decade, however, at least one line dance choreographer 買粉絲plained that good 買粉絲untry line dance music was no longer being released.

One infrequent, but 買粉絲nsistent theme in 買粉絲untry music is that of proud, stubborn independence. "Country Boy Can Survive"[27] and "Copperhead Road"[28] are two of the more serious songs along those lines; while "Some Girls Do"[29] and "Redneck Woman"[30] are more light-hearted variations on the theme.

There are at least four U.S. cable 買粉絲works at least partly devoted to the genre: CMT (owned by Via買粉絲), CMT Pure Country (also owned by Via買粉絲), Rural Free Delivery TV (owned by Rural Media Group) and GAC (owned by The E. W. Scripps Company). The original American 買粉絲untry music 買粉絲 cable channel was TNN (The Nashville Network). The channel was launched in the early 1980s. In 2000, the channel was renamed and reformatted to TNN (The National Network), which was a general-interest 買粉絲work to 買粉絲pete with USA Network, TNT, and Superstations, such as TBS and WGN. Subsequently, The National Network became Spike TV, the first 買粉絲work for men.
