My Steel Guitar playing friends in the US often have a program (sic) called Band in a Box, which is a set of midi patterns which conform to the standard licks in a number of genres, and mainstream country is one of them. In a matter of moments you can type in a few chords, select your style or genre, and you will have a bog standard backing track, exactly as you describe.
They mostly use it for practicing and jamming along with, but it sounds as if somebody is using it to produce finished tracks.
If you sampled a load of Country licks, you could do the same in Garageband- the programme that comes with a Mac.
If you find out who did produce it, send him or her to me and I'll show them how to make it sound a lot more real.
Cheers
