Country rock
02 Iunie 2008 Morrison
Country rock is a musical genre formed
from the fusion of rock
and roll with country
music.
While such cross-pollination has occurred throughout the history of both
genres, the term is usually used to refer to the wave of groups of the late 1960s
and early 1970s
who began to record country flavored records, including Neil
Young, The
Byrds, Gram
Parsons and Bob
Dylan with The
Band.
The term is also used for those who came after them, such as Lynyrd
Skynyrd and The
Eagles, and the many bands they influenced, such as the alternative
country movement.
