Western Americana

Western Americana

what is 'americana'?

okay when i was younger i was into punk, indie stuff and the like but now i'm older i'm starting to appreciate other stuff like country and western, thing is i've heard this term 'americana' bandied about,eg a local band claim to do 'americana' so what does it mean and can you suggest typical albums that a novice could listen to

Well that fact you've posted yer question in country shows you kinda know what it means.
It's a term used by journalists for that bands that have a distinct couontry feel.
Albums to check out?
Lambchop-Nixon.
Calexico-Feast of Wire.
Ryan Adams-Heartbreaker.
Gene Clark-No other.
You'll find that a lot of these bands are very closely interlinked, so one album will lead onto another band etc.
Enjoy!
