Hillbilly rock


Explanation:
Är i stort sett en bokstavlig översättning, som dock hittade en hel del relevanta träffar på Google. Känns lite mer som "bonnarock" än det mer formella "country rock", men båda termerna kan fungera, tycker jag.

Example sentence(s):
  • "It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum Playin' them guitars like shootin from a gun Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock" - Marty Stuart, "Hillbilly Rock."

Asker: thanks! Felt unsure about Hillbillies in Sweden- feels like an american term- so I went with "country rock"
