Indeed, you could also include Jerry Donahue a Pom with his wonderful pedal steel bends on the Tele and John Jorgensen who started out as a Disneyland street minstrel playing a multitude of instruments, made his name with the Desert Rose Band playing West Coast Country rock and now playing gypsy jazz al la Django
Music knows no boundaries and even the geographic style roots are disappearing as live venues become fewer and everyone has access to the likes of YouTube

Not an issue worth a fight about but we are entitled to our personal opinions and I think the country of birth stays (or should) stay with you for life.

I have 4 children all of whom have dual citizenship. I see them as 100% one nationality, and 100% the other. (The law sees them that way too, BTW) I was not trying to split the hair. I was trying, lightly I hope, to suggest that a hair can be more than one thing.
My wife is right. I am not nearly as funny as I think I am.
