Americana (also known as American roots music) is an amalgam of American music formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States, specifically those sounds that are merged from folk, country, blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, gospel, and other external influences. Americana, as defined by the Americana Music Association (AMA), is "contemporary music that incorporates elements of various mostly acoustic American roots music styles, including country, roots rock, folk, gospel and bluegrass resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band.
Some of the incredibly talented artists you can expect to find on this playlist include the late John Prine, Billy Strings, Jason Isbell, Alice Wallace, Jonathan Byrd, Brandi Carlile, Bonnie Bishop, The Milk Carton Kids, Hiss Golden Messenger, The Wood Brothers, Hayes Carll, Khruangbin and many more.
