Who ever are in charge of the Record Companies today hate Rock music..... probably got beat up by some Rockers or something when they were growing up....... So! country music is a replacement of Rock music............ otherwise listen to Jungle Music.

Answer 2

It's not very popular in many countries, but every country as a version of it.

Answer 3

My personal opinion:

Having extensive 'couples dance'  instruction; I'm personally predisposed to classic and country music.

That range of dance music resends back into Charleston Couples Dance music and Ragtime music that precedes the Charleston Craze. 

Ragtime is extremely defined by mathematics, everything in it has a mathematical balance.  The following Charleston still retains that mathematical definition in it's display.   The following lineage and different contributions by  immigrant music all combined into American music can be traced back to that base.

That mathematical beat of music rudimentary reminds an individual of the beating rhythm  of his Mother's heart, the first auditory information assembled in the human mind.  That rhythm calms the child, smooths the emotion of developing adult, and tames the wild beast.

If the music you crave and wildly desire does not contain that rudimentary rhythm... run out an buy a hard copy of what you desire... for it will only be around for a very short time!
