Country rockers are a genre of music that combines elements of country music and rock music. The term was first used in the late 1960s to describe artists such as Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. These artists blended traditional country music with rock and roll, creating a unique sound that has since become popular among many different genres. QUAKES is a six-letter word for country rockers, referring to the sound of the music which often has a shaking or quaking quality.
