About this listen
Country music started in living rooms and on front porches, but here's something wild - those humble beginnings sparked a $4 billion industry that reaches over 100 million listeners worldwide today.
That's such a remarkable transformation. And what fascinates me is how it all began with this beautiful collision of different cultural traditions.
Well, you know what's really interesting about those early days? When immigrants from the British Isles brought their fiddles and ballads, they had no idea they were laying the groundwork for something huge. And then when those sounds merged with African-American blues and banjo traditions — that's when the magic really started happening.
