In a VERY recent thread the subject of Americana music came up. It happens to be a style of music that I love and is "near and dear" to me. That being said, it's not a genre that always gets the most airplay by any means, so if anyone has suggestions of any artists in that genre, I'm all ears!  (Thanks Floyd!)

Jason Isbell. "Southeastern" (CD) and "Something More Than Free" (CD). That's a start.

I am a big Darell Scott fan, although I don't know too much about his albums. I have rhapsody so I listen on demand. In any case, here are a set of three videos that are a must watch, in my opinion: River Take MeCrooked RoadDay Before Thanksgiving

Would Mary Gauthier count as Americana? She is a favorite of mine for several years running!

I've always liked "Mercy Now" I just never know nowadays what genre songs belong in! Mercy Now is a great album but I actually like Filth and Fire better! http://www.marygauthier.com/filth-and-fire/

Rather than defining Americana, I just say it's a BIG tent. There are several great websites and newsletters that feature Americana articles, etc.
Also Apple Radio has a great Americana station - cool way to hear a variety of artists.

There are several great websites and newsletters that feature Americana articles, etc. Is this your term for it, or is this kind of what it's called? Just curious, so that if I used it with others will they have any clue what I'm talking about...or will I have to explain it every time? LOL It would be nice to have slightly more generalized term for it. Also Apple Radio has a great Americana station - cool way to hear a variety of artists. I have never used Apple Radio. I will have to look into it. Is it similar to some of the other music services? Thanks for the reply!

I will throw one in the ring I'm guessing you haven't heard of... Rob Anthony I think he has some pretty cool straight forward stuff. Let me know your thoughts.

Very cool sound. A "basic bare-bones" sound that works great. His site is a better link if you don't want to have to bring up iTunes just to listen... http://www.robanthonymusic.com/ Yes indeed. That is a better link! He has been sitting in with the Bodeans (Da Bodeans-around my area) and I can tell it has influenced his writing. Great guy. I dug the sound aside from her singing. That being said, give me a little time to wrap my head around her voice. Many times, things grow on me! lol Another recommendation would be... Corey Chisel I'm having fun hearing a lot of new stuff! Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I would be inclined to call Americana a radio format rather than a genre. It can include a number of genres ranging from Blues to Bluegrass. And even then, the name is a little misleading, as there are fine 'Americana' artists hailing from Australia and elsewhere(e.g. the 'swamp music' of Aussie Eightball Aitken). Be that as it may, one artist I can most definitely recommend for a listen would be "Mean Mary" James ( http://meanmary.com), banjoist extraordinaire, songwriter, excellent vocalist.

And even then, the name is a little misleading, as there are fine 'Americana' artists hailing from Australia and elsewhere(e.g. the 'swamp music' of Aussie Eightball Aitken). I know what you mean. I just throw it out as a general term, as people roughly know what you are talking about. It's not so dissimilar to me making "French toast" her in the "good ol' US of A." It's just a descriptor that people recognize. It didn't originate here...or France for that matter. It's Roman. But if I start calling it "Roman toast", most people would be confused, lose what I was trying to say, I would have to explain it, and I'm not sure what they would think of me at that point! Probably "why didn't you just say 'French Toast'" I'm with ya though! What you call what music has changed A LOT in the last few decades. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much. Be that as it may, one artist I can most definitely recommend for a listen would be "Mean Mary" James ( http://meanmary.com), banjoist extraordinaire, songwriter, excellent vocalist. Cool beans! Thanks for the suggestion. I will be looking that one up today! I'm lovin' this! I'm finding TONS of new artists thanks to all of you!
