This thread interests me as someone who's personal "sound" falls kind of in the cracks between country and pop.
I suppose that my songs could be more or less countrified depending on production choices.
I am reminded of the way American Idol does "country" renditions of songs. Remember Kristi Lee's "eight days a week"? I thought that song actually could have worked for her as a country song, but they do what they always do; they inevitably overdo fiddles and other "country" instruments and make every song sound like a weird characeture of the genre.
That is NOT how I want my stuff produced. So, I am reluctant to tell someone "I am hearing this as a country song". What i am hearing is more "crossover". (Eek. I write "sell-out" songs!)
I know this is kind of rambling and not at all about big and rich but that is just how I am feelin' it right now!
