For many enthusiasts the genres of Folk music and Country music sit hand-in-hand. Both have their roots in the story-song tradition and you can recognize the same melodies and the storytelling lyrics as you move from one genre to the next.
Folk music can refer to both traditional types of music and the modern notion of folk music that arose during the mid 1900s in the United States. Traditional folk music has been around as long as music itself, but the term “folk music" wasn't really used until the 1800s. Country music originated in the Southern United States in the 1920s and essentially is a style of folk music.
