America's Music: The Roots of Country is a film that touches on which bar-style music, common in the South US?
Honky-tonk A honky-tonk (also called honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is both a bar that provides country music for the entertainment of its patrons and the style of music played in such establishments. Bars of this kind are common in the South and Southwest United States. Many eminent country music artists, such as Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Merle Haggard, began their careers as amateur musicians in honky-tonks. The modern-day, honky-tonk atmosphere has continued, with the likes of Dwight Yoakam.
Kansas City Stomp Kansas City Stomp or Kansas City Stomps is an early jazz standard by Jelly Roll Morton. He recorded it in Richmond, Virginia on 18 July 1923 along with Wolverine Blues and Grandpa's Spells. "Kansas City Stomp" has been described as "one of his (Morton's) happiest pieces". Morton was inspired in naming it after playing at a bar named "Kansas City Bar" in Tijuana. It has nothing to do with Kansas City itself.
