Synths - Country, Blues, Americana

Not sure where to post this...  I record songs I write, which are not rock, but most of the AD and SD loops and patterns that came with Sonar seem to be rock.  The same with SI.  Could anyone suggest a drum expansion pak or a loop/sample bundle or a different drum synth and/or same for bass that won't break the bank.
 
I know I can create the drums and bass parts, but I get lost everytime I try.  Working with loops is my speed right now.
 
Should I be looking at applying Groove Quantize to stock loops and samples?

    For MIDI files, Groove Monkee has a wide selection covering lots of styles.  For loops, Big Fish Audio is a good source.  Good luck!

    It depends on your price point but Toontrack's EZ drummer with the Nashville, Blues and Americana expansions would be right up your street.

    I did that yesterday Glyn!  Got the Americana pak, ought to hold me for a while.  I can edit bass lines in PRV which does work for me if I stay focused...there's just so dang much to learn and so little time.
