History of Country Music: The Beginnings
Wonderful site that, (you guessed it), starts right at the beginning. Then goes on to Acuff & The Grand Ole Opry, Cowboy Music, Western Swing, Bill Monroe & Bluegrass, Honky Tonky Music, The Nashville Sound, Outlaw Country, Urban Cowboys, Garth & New Country, and coming soon The New Traditionalist. Very well written history and bios, and some example wav files!
