Музыковеды определяют музыку кантри (country) как смесь фольклорной музыки Англии, Ирландии и Шотландии. Первые переселенцы из Европы в Америку привезли с собой свои песни, мотивы, манеру исполнения и передавали это из поколения в поколение. Религиозная музыка, особенно гимны и различные ритуальные песни, также являлась частью того, что позже назвали «кантри».
Главная черта, отличающая кантри от других стилей музыки, – склонность к меланхолическому звучанию. В нем чувствуется влияние кельтских мотивов. Ансамбли струнных инструментов в кантри состоят из скрипки, банджо, гитары и контрабаса. Классические образцы кантри повествуют об утрате или разлуке – потерянном доме, покинутых родителях. И, конечно же, о любви.
