Rock-a-Billy, Country, and Bluegrass all came from the simple form of story telling by music and modern Country and Western music has its roots in the folk songs of the rural south and the cowboy music popularized by the singing cowboys of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The America’s Music Legacy series was recorded 1983-85 and produced by 20TH Century Home Entertainment.
