Again, the OP concerns structure, not content.
Blues might have what might be considered a minor scale feel, but the majority of blues songs that I have played and/or heard are in a major key. What makes the blues so unique is that the blues scale can be described as a minor scale, but it is technically considered a major chord, with a flat (or minor) third and seventh played against a major chord. The resulting discord approximates the “blue” note, which is actually somewhere in between. this is also achieved when the note is “bent” from the minor chord to somewhere between the minor note and the major note.
Musicologically, both genres have related but separate folk roots. Some think the blues can be traced back to work songs and field “hollers” sung by slaves, including some scales and notations that are actually native to Africa. That is why the “blue” note is so difficult to approximate using western instruments.
Country music, by contrast, has a strong tradition, leading back to such things as jigs and reels brought to the southeastern part of the US by Irish, Scottish and Scotch-Irish immigrants. It has a more “traditional” feel, by western music standards.
