Things like this don't bother me. Charlie Pride has already been discussed. African Spirituals have had a significant impact on country music. And the Blues makes its way into country
Go and listen to early bluesmen like Leadbelly, Lightnin' Hopkins, or Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and tell me that's not country music. Blues is not an offshoot of jazz, it's an outshoot of Scotch-Irish folk music driven by Afro-Caribbean drums. Influence is rarely a one-way street.
