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. It primarily derives from blues, church music such as Southern gospel and spirituals, old-time, and American folk music forms including Appalachian, Cajun, Creole, and the cowboy Western music styles of Hawaiian, New Mexico, Red Dirt, Tejano, and Texas country.

Welcome To Woody Creek
''Welcome to Woody Creek'' is the 2004 album from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Critical reception Alex Henderson of AllMusic concludes his review with, "Welcome to Woody Creek isn't as essential as the Dirt Band's best '60s and '70s recordings; nonetheless, it's a solid, respectable outing that will please die-hard fans of the veteran country-rockers." '' No Depression Magazine'' reviews the album and says, "For ''Welcome To Woody Creek'', which comes on the heels the third ''Circle'' disc, the five-man band got back to basics, cutting the album themselves (except for a cameo by steel guitarist Dan Dugmore). The result is a blend of country, bluegrass, folk and rock that is a microcosm of the band’s 40-year history." ''Billboard Magazine'' writes, "The classic Nitty Gritty Dirt Band lineup convened at Jimmy Ibbotson's Unami studio in Woody Creek, Colo., to record the bulk of the veteran act's latest effort. The result is vintage Dirt." Gus Walker begins his review of the alb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
