Others, such as The Twa Sisters, also come from England however, the lyrics are about Ireland. Several Appalachian bluegrass ballads, such as "Pretty Saro", "Barbara Allen", "Cuckoo Bird" and "House Carpenter", come from England and preserve the English ballad tradition both melodically and lyrically. Many older bluegrass songs come directly from the British Isles. These traditions consisted primarily of English and Scottish ballads-which were essentially unaccompanied narrative-and dance music, such as Irish reels, which were accompanied by a fiddle. Settlers from the United Kingdom and Ireland arrived in Appalachia during the 18th century, and brought with them the musical traditions of their homelands. It has mixed roots in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English traditional music, and also later influenced by the music of African-Americans through incorporation of jazz elements.
Bluegrass was inspired by the music of Appalachia. Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music, and a subgenre of country music.
