What timbres or instruments would you expect to hear in a typical honky-tonk style country song from the post-wwii period? a. electric guitar played with a "distorted" or "over-driven" timbre, bass, drums, and maybe harmonica b. a large woodwind section with clarinets and saxophones, a large brass section with trumpets and trombones, and a rhythm section with drums, bass, and piano. c. a rhythm section with drums, bass and piano, and a small horn section with only one or two saxophones and maybe a trumpet. d. guitar, bass, drums, fiddle and slide-guitar (such as a dobro) e. a full-orchestra including a string section, woodwind and brass sections, and a rhythm section?
