That's a good question Harry. Perhaps it's because people aren't sure where they fit in.
I know that my co-writer and I wouldn't know how to classify many of the songs we write. We are probably more folky than country but I'm not sure we're quite folk either.
It's even more confusing when some songs by Shania, Faith and many others are played on country stations when they are clearly not country songs. After hearing those, you can understand why some would consider their songs to be country as well.
Since country music is much more popular than folk and some other genres, why wouldn't someone trying to get noticed want to be where the people are listening?
