Take me home, country road
乡村音乐(Country music)，又称“乡村与西部音乐” (Country and Western)，是当代音乐的一种风格形式。其根源可追溯至上世纪20年代，起源于美国南部与阿帕拉契山区，人们公认田纳西州纳什维尔地区是乡村音乐的故乡，并建有专门的乡村音乐博物馆。此音乐风格于70年代在世界各地得以快速普及，受到广大青年的欢迎，并由“乡村音乐”逐步取代了“乡村与西部音乐”的称法。
乡村音乐出了两位十分知名的畅销歌手。一位是艾维斯·普利斯莱，人称猫王，同时也是新音乐类型摇滚乐的代表人物。另一位是当代音乐家加思·布鲁克斯（Garth Brooks），拥有一亿两千八百万专辑销售量，是美国历史上最畅销的歌手。
