It may not be true of the song you heard, but both lyrically and musically, you can trace many of country music's patterns all the way to their Celtic origins, and on through jazz and pop as well.
I would encourage you to check out Sturgill Simpson if you haven't yet -- I think he may have cracked the code on country songwriting.
He's a pretty fine player, too.

I love Sturgill. Another person who cracked the country songwriting code was Daniel Romano who may have just been doing it as performance art but in the process wrote some killer songs.
