Village music is a native American music, which embodies a strong style of American southern folk music. Traditional country music developed from string music and traditional narrative songs in the 19th century. One of its remarkable features is that singers can express their happiness and sorrow without being limited by sex and age or by time and place. With a guitar and the accompaniment of banjo and harmonica instruments, they can enjoy themselves. For a long time, the singers and fans of country music were almost all white Americans living in the southern countryside, such as farmers, cowboys, miners and loggers. Singers always sang with a strong southern nasal voice. The contents of most songs express their loyalty to love, their attachment to the countryside, or reflect the hardships of life, the suffering of poverty and the warmth of their families.

in the early 195s, with the development of electro-acoustic instruments, electronic instruments, drums, violins and chords were gradually added to country music, and vocal chorus also replaced the "high-pitched, lonely" songs in previous music. Country music in this period has gradually lost its original mellow "local flavor" and presented more modern urban flavor. Taking this opportunity, country music has also expanded its market all over the United States. Nashville, Tennessee, was the largest and most well-known commercial center of American country music at that time. Most country music singers came here to seek opportunities for development, and most country songs were recorded in Nashville's recording studio, so that people called the country music of this period "Nashville music".

in the mid-197s, led by Willie Nelson and Willon Jennings, a movement called "Rebellion" was launched in the American country music field, aiming at replacing the stylized "Nashville Music" with a simpler and simpler method. Soon after, in the late 197s and early 198s, "neo-traditional singers" sprang up suddenly and became the most popular school in American country music. The music of these new generation of country singers is no longer lifeless music products launched on Nashville, new york or Los Angeles production lines. They try to abandon the dazzling techniques and techniques in the village music scene and restore the true face of country music with their unadorned music style. "Neo-traditional singers" have achieved great success because of their pleasant voice and beautiful and soft melody. Up to now, it still dominates country music in American pop music.

in the course of more than a century's development, although American country music is varied in musical style, almost all of them have the same theme, that is, songs all reflect the love and marriage life, religious beliefs, love and attachment to the country and the most common and touching experiences of ordinary Americans, especially ordinary workers and peasants living at the bottom of society. Many songs focus on work scenes, and some even focus on the life experiences of gamblers, drunkards and prison inmates, but in any case, American country music is a veritable American "specialty" and a beautiful gift from the American people to the people of the world.
