Celtic Elements in Country Music

Instrumentation in country music takes a lot of inspiration from Celtic music. The fiddle is a keystone of country, and similar to Celtic music, it also typically incorporates another string instrument, though in country it is usually a guitar or sometimes a banjo.

Country music also typically follows the same lyrical directions that Celtic music takes; the sad narratives, the drinking songs, and the overall personal storytelling elements are all present in most country music, as they are in Celtic music.
