This is country:

Dude, if that's what country sounds like to you, I guess this is what Rock is:
You are undoubtedly right that IYD songs are more roots rock than anything, though. I hear lots of references to Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Rosanne Cash, etc. All those ladies really kinda focused in roots rock in it's various flavors: country, blues, jazz, etc. Had those women risen in the music scene today, they'd undoubtedly be labeled as Country, though. So would male classic rockers like the Eagles. Country has become much more pop/rock the past 2 decades.
