I can respect that there were some heavily country-inspired songs from those two artists, but I'd place those two artists under the swing/rock genres.
It's actually interesting what people consider country, which is quite a wider range than everyone thinks.


I've had people think this famous Dire Straits song was country, but it's actually closer to rock.
