Old Country Music for Free!

With roots in British folk songs, Old Country Music was first recorded in the 1920s, but its style and sound had remained consistent since the 1800s. Old country songs were generally played by rural Americans on such instruments as the Spanish guitar and African banjo, as well as other more backwater instruments such as the Dobro, bass and washboards. During the early 1900s, this old time country music added some contemporary influences, particularly the blues and vaudeville comedy, to come up with a whole new sound.
