I used the term 'country & Western' purely because it's the term the U.S country music association uses, and I always use the term 'Country Music' for the old time country stuff I like, I thin it was the Carpenters who were first tagged as 'country' in a radio broadcast which intruced their 'songs of the country' way back in the 1920's. And interesting enough Hank William's song Your Cheating Heart once won 'folk song of the year'
