Country Rock: An Idiosyncratic History July/September 2006

Page 1/12

I have been thinking about doing a compilation of Country-Rock music for quite some time. It was a genre central to `the soundtrack' of my life. I had played the acoustic guitar and sang in the folk years of the early `60s, (but who didn't?). All my friends had a guitar and singing and playing was a natural group activity.

I enjoyed rock and was an avid follower of the British invasion, but never `went' electric and never was in a garage band. I liked and followed the union of folk and rock, and folk rock tunes were the songs that superseded folk music in our continuing sing-alongs into college.

I view country rock, though some would argue, as a subgenre of folk rock because it started later (1967/68), was centered in Southern California, and `ended' (or evolved into other things) by the middle 1970's. In other words, it was (is) a `set' that fits in time and place within the `larger' genre, folk-rock. Nonetheless, the songs were simple and accessible and the style flavored a lot of the pop of the 70's. My friends and I could sing `em and we could play `em too.

Is country rock my favorite music? No, nothing is. And then everything is.
