The History of New Country Songs
Country music is described as a combination of popular and traditional forms of music, stemming from the southern part of the United States and the Canadian Maritimes. The music has also known as Western or Country and has evolved very quickly during the 1920s. It was the music of choice in many western and Midwestern states, which is why it was highly associated to cowboys and the Wild West. Other countries have also learned to adopt the music and continued to innovate it, as evidenced by the rise of Australian country music.

New country songs were introduced during the 1970s, even though the terms Country and Western has also started to lose appeal during the period.

Several ethnic groups in Southwestern United States also started the music that later on became country and Western. At present, new country songs can belong in several styles, categories and subgenres.
