Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

Not a Blog per se, but I have been mucking about at home on a Saturday. I used to play this song in a Heavy Big Pop band in the Nineties, but with a lot more guitars involved. https://on.soundcloud.com/YYQ2LYoeuWoJZiFf9 |

One of the best explanations of "Americana" and, indeed, "Roots" I've read. Thank you. |

In the RnR mag Reviews section they don't have an Americana category but have a Roots one which often seems to be where bands and singers are put who don't fit in anywhere else. So Roots covers acoustic\folky\whatever. And then there's the singer\songwriter category with artists who can be folk or roots or Americana etc.
When I started doing radio shows I found a promoter who represents a variety of different North American artists and I think he decided that my tastes were generally more Americana than anything else, though he would send me the occasional Bluegrass and Old Timey\Gospel release as well.

"South Australia" seems to have become endemic these days. Almost every gig I go to (except Fairport, so far) seems to feature it. Not sure why, but at least it's relatively cheerful. 50 or so years ago, the go-to tune was (briefly) " My Brother, Jake", to be followed by "Lamorna" and so on, to the heat death of the Universe. |
