“Country” - Beyoncé is born and raised in post Urban Cowboy era Texas. Two Texans, three opinions and Oklahoma will beg to differ. Jimmie Rodger's studio musicians were (mostly) not even American mainlanders.

The banjo is primarily an East Coast instrument. Texan 'country' will lean more to dobro and pedal steel guitar. AKA “Western”... like Beyoncé's 'cowboy' hat and the Nudie suit wardrobe in general.
