==Legacy==
Outside its handful of stars, country rock's greatest significance was on artists in other genres, including the Band, [[Grateful Dead]], [[Creedence Clearwater Revival]], [[the Rolling Stones]], and [[George Harrison]]'s solo work.<ref name=Bogdanov2002C-Rock/> It also played a part in the development of [[Southern rock]], which, although largely derived from [[blues rock]], had a distinct southern lilt, and it paved the way for parts of the [[alternative country]] movement.<ref name=Bogdanov2002C-Rock/> The genre declined in popularity in the late-1970s, but some established artists, including Neil Young, have continued to record country-tinged rock into the 21st century. Japan even took influence in the 70s with country rock mainly in the kayokyoku genre. Artists such as [[Takuro Yoshida]], [[Lily]] and [[Saori Minami]] have often dabbled with country rock in their music. Country rock has survived as a cult force in Texas, where acts including [[the Flatlanders]], [[Joe Ely]], [[Butch Hancock]], [[Jimmie Dale Gilmore]], and California-based Richard Brooker have collaborated and recorded.<ref name=Bogdanov2002C-Rock/><ref>P.
