    They’ve loved American country music in Glasgow for generations; it’s one of those local peculiarities.

      Appalachia (mountain range down the East coast of USA) is where much country music came from, and in the early days was largely settled by Scots and Irishmen.

        My dude, flappers could have bought some of the first country records. It’s been a genre since before they switched from wax cylinders to vinyl records.

            You just linked to a wiki article that says country music has been around since the 1920s. That same site says a generation is 20-30 years, so 3 to 5 generations of country music.

            For example, Hank Williams played country in the 40s for one generation. His son, Hank Williams Jr. played country music in the 70s for a different generation. His grandson, Hank Williams III, played country for yet another generation in the 90s. His great grandson, Coleman Williams (aka IV) plays country for today’s generation.

              Incredible how a stance can be so wrong that it is refuted simply with the name Hank Williams
