Country music has been around for a long time, with the first recordings beginning in the early 1920s. Not quite as long as the production of the first Ford, but a long time. Both are iconic, both are well-established and both are loved.
Country Music and the Ford Truck
The country music genre began with a focus on working class Americans. It goes hand-in-hand with the traditions of hard-working people. So do Ford trucks, built Ford tough and ready for those who need a working machine.
Country music has come a long way from its origins, from Gene Autry to Patsy Cline to the current Morgan Wallen. It has lasted many decades and continues to grow as America grows. So does the Ford truck, embracing and evolving, ready for the long haul.
