Features: This book aims to provide an overview of country music while also introducing folk music, enabling readers to better grasp the developmental trajectory of country music. Rigidly separating the two would rather undermine its authenticity. The author points out the differences between the two here not to prepare for a comprehensive evaluation of these distinctions; on the contrary, after this introduction, the author has no intention of elaborating further on this aspect. The purpose of this preface is to allow readers to enter the reading with these brief fundamental concepts in mind, effortlessly.
