Country music is characterized by simple tunes, steady rhythm, narrative lyrics, strong local flavor, cordiality and enthusiasm without losing popular elements.

Related introduction:

The two most important components of country music are string accompaniment (usually a guitar or electric guitar, and often a Hawaiian guitar and violin) ) and the singer's voice.

Country music has abandoned the "electronic" sounds (effects) that are widely used in pop music. Most importantly, the singer's voice is a hallmark of country music (folk voice), and country music singers almost always have a Southern, or at least a rural, accent.
