-Instrumentation:
Mostly includes vocals, guitar, drums, bass, madolin, harmonica, banjo, dobro, and other folk instruments.
-Vocals:
Often harmonized especially at the chorus. Mostly, you will find it is harmonized with a 3rd either above or under the melody.
Kenny Rogers is an excellent example. Careful with the instrumentation, you'll notice they like to make it fancy with a xylophone or a vibraphone.. that's just because he's well known and has been around for a long time... they try to bring something new into his music so the crowd still wants to go see him in concert... it's all about the live stuff hehe! but on the records he's pretty traditionnal.
