Appalachian folk music is a distinctive genre of folk music originating in the Appalachia region of the United States of America. It is believed to have developed from traditional Scottish and Irish music brought to the USA by immigrants from those countries, and in turn it deeply influenced country music. Earliest recordings date from 1922.
