Sweet Rebecca
''Sweet Rebecca'' is the eighth studio album by Australian country music singer Beccy Cole. It was released in April 2015 and peaked at number 19 on the ARIA Charts. For the first time, Cole has written on every one of the album's 12 tracks. Cole said; "For me, every time I write songs it's a very cathartic experience, because I write about my life. I think the more honest you are, the better the song is going to be." Cole toured Australia in support of the release. Critical reception Aneta Grulichova from The Music AU said; "Banjos, guitars and incredible vocals are what listeners will find. Lyrically the album is engaging, telling the story of her journey through life; however some are very slow, though heartfelt.

Country Music
Country (also called country and western) is a genre of popular music that originated in the Southern and Southwestern United States in the early 1920s.

Country music often consists of ballads and honky-tonk dance tunes with generally simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies often accompanied by string instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars (such as pedal steels and dobros), banjos, and fiddles as well as harmonicas. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. The term ''country music'' gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to '' hillbilly music'', with "country music" being used today to describe many styles and subgenres. It came to encomp ...
