Today let me give you not a definition but a description of country music in the States. First of all, the themes in country music are traditionally rural-oriented and very often southern. Second, the lyric---or words of the song---are usually simple and basic. The guitar is the main music instrument used in country music. You’ll hear the piano and other instruments, too, but usually country music is built around the guitar. And the country singer’s voice traditionally had a nasal quality and often a southern or southwestern accent.
