well, the Townes is sort of, but in a not-really-country sort of way.

hadn't heard this. Interesting. Based on descriptions I might check out more. But country's not what I would have thought based on this sone.

Beautiful song, and you can hear the bones of a country song in it, but that's basically a demo outside of genre.
Townes is one of those country guys though whose sort of more loved by people who don't like country, but like Townes.

That's not country at all, really. Maybe sort of a bit of 'contemporary folk' flair to it, but not country.

Also much more 'contemporary folk' than country (or rock, really).
