en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Foster
>Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 – January 13, 1864), known as "the father of American music", was an American songwriter known primarily for his parlor and minstrel music. Foster wrote over 200 songs; among his best-known are "Oh! Susanna", "Hard Times Come Again No More", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home" ("Suwanee River"), "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", "Old Black Joe", and "Beautiful Dreamer". Many of his compositions remain popular more than 150 years after he wrote them.

Rock 'n Roll is America's greatest invention. Groups like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Iron Maiden, and the Rolling Stones cemented America's modern cultural dominance over lesser nations.

[Christian Diaz]

this
Not to mention before rock and roll we even had our own cultural folk songs that every American knows by heart

is this one country music? It does give out some cool historical fact:
youtube.com/watch?v=MSDyiUBrUSk
his song was featured in Cars 1, listened to that song all the time

[Brayden Thomas]

That's a Leadbelly song
youtube.com/watch?v=xn50JSI0W-E

Technically it's blues, but blues and music pretty much used to be the same thing back then, they were divided into "hillbilly records" and "race records" based on the race of the performer once the recording industry came, hillbilly evolved into country and race records into rythm'n'blues (when they met each other again that was rock,n,roll)
tl;dr you could say it is country, yes

About Leadbelly, he is the real Original Gangster, the first black musician to became famous as a criminal, and one of the pillars of old blues

[Carson Bailey]

the first song is great, the last two are a little bit too pop tho :)
more of those facts, nothing is tl:dr for them
Leadbelly sounds strange, I rarely see any of his old song pop up. Maybe i prefer a soother sounding voice than his, besides that recording is in low quality...
Ray Charlies however that's something I can get more of

I'm not sure about the genre, maybe Jazz, country, old pop, easy-listening and dubstep.

[Joshua Walker]
