Country music as we know it starts with Roy Acuff. The fiddler with a quintessentially spare singing style wasn’t called The King of Country Music for nothing: Acuff, more than anyone, had the savvy to see the business potential in country music. During the late Thirties and Forties, when his songs like The Great Speckled Bird and The Wreck on the Highway saw him rule the charts, the first-ever living inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame helped transform the Grand Ole Opry from country bumpkin revue into a bonafide showcase.

Country music grew out of American Southern folk music, both Appalachian and blues, and old-time country was simple and folky, with just guitars and fiddles. As the genre progressed, old time music evolved into the rhythmic guitar-and-fiddle driven traditional country that became the foundation of modern country music, from honky tonk and Western Swing to the pop-oriented Countrypolitan and rock-inflected Bakersfield Sound.
