Benny Andersson from Abba has an orchrestra, BAO. The band does song that I would consider sounding like American Country music but not with as a typical guitar band. I thinkthe music of BAO probably be considered as Schlager and Folk. Then there is First Aid Kit which has a nice old time Country style to them.

Of course it all comes down to Abba with you.

If you wanna check out American country that isn't just pop nonsense, then I will always suggest Townes Van Zandt, the absolute master of old school folk country. I don't even listen to much country, but Townes transcends taste.
