It tells reallife stories and sounds the way people really talk, as life becomes more complicated(复杂的)it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two lands of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.
