I'm trying to put together a playlist of songs that stay just the right side of Country - mostly acoustic tunes that have a Country vibe, but don't go for all the cliched lyrics (I know what I mean!) For some reason this kind of stuff really reminds me of this time of year.
Examples would be:
Pearl Jam - Off He Goes, Speed Of Sound
Kings Of Leon - Back Down South, Arizona
Counting Crows - Daylight Fading, Goodnight Elizabeth
Ryan Adams - Magnolia Mountain, Sweet Illusions
Blues Traveler - The Mountains Win Again
what you got?

Pure Prairie League: "Amie"
Taj Mahal: "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)"
Bob Dylan: "Girl From the North Country"
But I agree that Drifting has that vibe. And LTRP (which is a mishmash of practically every music genre out there, lol).

But anyway, I find that music genre is almost as subjective as music taste. Check out how many genres there are supposed to be:

sorry, I hate to argue, but there's definitely a country twang to Mike's guitar. That's all I'm really getting at - I know I've seen other people on here say it in the past too, so I'm not completely mad!

You clearly did not grow up in a home where country music was played all the time. Otherwise, you'd know that this is a cover of country singer Don Gibson's catchy hit song. I never quite got used to Neil's slowed down version.
Here's Don performing it as a duet with Johnny Cash's future wife:
