What is Americana? A genre composed of various aspects of American-style music, including Folk, Country, Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock & Roll.

In simpler terms, they are generally country/folk-style songs with an emphasis on lyrics. Popular among songwriters.

Jason Isbell recently won Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Song Of The Year at the Americana Music Festival. And for good reason, as amazing would be a huge understatement.

Jason Isbell - Cover Me Up (this one won Song Of The Year) www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaUCDqWzy1k
Jason Isbell - Live Oak www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvZoQhHi65Q

The only thing better than Jason is his wife..whom I just had the pleasure of watching tour with Gregg Allman.

Not a bad song or album, but The Offspring does not belong in this thread.

On the other hand, Robert Earl Keen does.
