They come from different parts of America.Country music comes from the southeast of America.But western music comes from the southwest of America.
Another difference is the ways of playing them.Country music has a simple (简单的) way of playing.It uses fewer instruments like guitars and harmonicas (口琴).But western music needs more and bigger instruments like trumpets,trombones (长号) and so on.
Country music is folk (民间的) music.It’s the music that travels in the country.Men and women often play it.However,there is much dancing in western music and men often play it.
