If you listen to some Early Bob Wills, he sounded more like Jazz than what later evolved into Western Swing. And of course there was a ton of music before Blues, for instance. I could mention Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.


Yep, there was tons of music before the blues. There was also Pat Boone and Perry Como, and the Brill building and theatre songs.

But the main glue of 20th century music is the blues, there's no country without it Ray

Classical I dont think influenced the 20th century as much but is still around
