JimmyRogers has always been called the father of modern country music. Jimmy is one of the most influential singers in the history of pop music, but he has raised country music to a new height, so many music critics think that he is a key figure connecting the preceding with the following. For decades, Jimmy has been worshipped by many country singers, and he has almost become the god of country music. The original songs left by Jimmy during his short recording career (1927 ~ 1933) are still sweet and touching even today. Linda Ronstadt rose as a country singer in the late 1960s and became a pop star in the 1970s. 1980, she first appeared on the big screen, starring in a movie of the same name adapted from the musical Pirates of Penzance.

Bob Wells is a classic figure. Hank williams (1923 ~ 1953) was born in Alabama on 1923. In style, he is neither like the southeast harmony style nor the popular western swing music style.

Johnny cash johnny cash (joaquin phoenix) was born on a small farm in southern Arkansas. The farm worker's folk songs and hymns fascinated him with music since he was a child. Kelly (Shelby Lynn), a mother who loves music, has always inspired Cash to work hard on the road of singing: "God is looking after you, and one day you will sing for the whole world." 1950, after being drafted into the army, Cash changed completely. The cruelty of the war made him start to think about some heavy topics independently, thus forming a unique perspective of his future works. In the army, 20-year-old Cash first came into contact with the guitar and soon became a self-taught guitarist. From 65438 to 0955, retired Cash sang and ran in local radio stations and bars in Memphis, winning the favor of Sun Records owner Sam Phillips with his outstanding timbre. After signing the contract, he released several singles one after another, among which "I Walk the Line" stayed on the throne of Billboard as the country music champion for six weeks and sold 2 million copies, thus starting Cash's musical legend journey. Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music, was also a man of the hour on the stage of country music in the 1940s. When he and his band "Bluegrass Boys" joined Opry at 1939, most elements of their music were already very popular-strong rhythm, perfect harmony, exquisite violin and cheerful mandolin. After the fire of World War II went out, the singer Lester Flat and the banjo wizard Earl Scruggs joined in, which made Monroe's band perfect day by day. Bill Monroe's classic songs have been covered by singers such as Elvis Presley and Pasty Cline, especially the cover version of Elvis Presley is the most sensational, but Monroe herself doesn't like it very much.
