As an American who loves traditional Scottish music, but was not raised with the accent and history, let me suggest.....be careful & listen a LOT...it is not easy to write & think that way! You can wind up sounding like a bad parody.Get soem records and try to do exact copies until it feels like you have it down.Or, go with intentional parody and humor...that sells too!) American C&W is FULL of cliches' and repetitious themes of lost love and cheating lovers and pick-up trucks and beer drinking....but with a mind-set that you almost have to live to appreciate...have fun, but go slowly!!
