Country music has a long history in Canada. The genre evolved out of the diverse musical practices of the Appalachian region of the United States. Appalachian folk music was largely Scottish and Irish, with an important influence also being the African American country blues.
Parts of Ontario, British Columbia and the Maritime provinces shared a tradition with the Appalachian region and country music became popular quite quickly in these places. Canadian country as developed by Otto Wilke, Carter, Snow and Earl Heywood, used a less nasal and more distinctly pronounced vocal style than American music and stuck with more traditional ballads and narratives while American country began to use more songs about bars, family relationships, and quarrels between lovers.
This style of country music became very popular in Canada over the next couple of decades. Later popular Canadian country stars range from Stompin’ Tom Connors to Tom Jackson to Shania Twain to Rick Tippe. (Wikipedia).
