Boozy still must answer my question: Is Bo Bice a country artist?

And thank you Merkaba, its rooted in the depressing folk culture of irish peasent songs. It is mostly defined by sustained notes and slide guitar. The twang is certainly a peice of country, but notes alone are simple notes.

The notes when juxtaposed and the distance between those notes are all that matter. The twang of country is not the quarter step of middle eastern music, so its a specific kind of twang.

As yourself this, if you answered yes to the original question, then can there be instrumental country music?
