Folk Music
Folk music is the traditional music of many of the early settlers to the United States, particularly in the Appalachian region. Many of the best loved American folk tunes are either of blues/gospel derivation, or else have Scots/Irish roots. Folk music underwent a great revival in the 1960's, greatly influencing blues, rock and country music as we know them today. Next Section: Cajun Music American Culture: Chapter Home
