Though modern country music certainly has its roots in blues and early rock and roll, traditional country music takes its inspiration from many different styles of music, especially Celtic and Spanish sources.

In fact, many country singers have been very active politically!
Like Henson Cargill, whose lone hit "Skip a Rope" addressed issues such as racism at a time when many Americans were still supportive of school segregation.
