A lot of us has Scottish ancestry down here in he South. Some of that could be an offshoot of practices by their ancestors.

Protestant English gospel music, Scotch and Irish, i.e. celtic music and instruments evolved in several lines, including 'country', folk, black blues and gospel, etc. At one time New Orleans was a major musical instrument manufacturing city, especially of brass and woodwinds, and the 'big band' sounds evolved from marching bands like Souza's.
West African influences from refugees from French Caribbean islands like Haiti in the late 1700's and early 1800's were influence heavily by old folk music from Europe, and added their own spins to the European sounds and instrumentals.
Appalachia was another music innovation region, bluegrass, folk, gospel styles, etc. mostly Irish and Scotch there.
Dr. Ralph Stanley does some of the oldest known gospel/bluegrass songs from the 1840's or so, his O Death probably being one of the oldest known.

Unfortunately it is, Morticia .
English , Irish and Scotty Dog .
Obvious time line .
And some people love " Folk" and ever will .
But it's mostly like your own appalling home music -- boring , repetitive and musically limited .
imho .
But if it has an audience and following , so be it .

Country and Western music used to be separate categories, with bands like Bob Wills , Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry, and others being a category of their own; now its all lumped together under 'country'. Asleep at the Wheel is a modern example of western swing.
Chuck Berry, among others, was influenced by Bob Wills, and was first considered a 'country' act. R&R was first played on country stations.
