Many styles of music now fall under the broad rubric known as country music: Old-time, Honky-tonk, Western swing, Cajun, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Country-pop, Country-rock, Folk-country, New traditionalism, Hot-Country and even insurgent or alternative country. The reasen that country music exists as such a catchhall category of music can be found in the music's comercialorigins.Country music came into being as a genre of musicin the early 1920's when record companies began seeking new audiences to sell recordings to.When radio became a commercial reality in 1920,the new entertainment medium immediatley cut into sales of record companies.For their rural white counterparts,the record companies sought genuine rustic talent in the hills and hollows of the rural Southeast:fiddlers,stringbands,singers o fold folkballads,gospel quartets.Thes sorts of performers and their music became the foundation of what has come to be known as country music.
