What is Americana music?Our big-sister organisation Americana Music Association in the USA describe the genre as incorporating elements of various American roots music styles resulting in a distinctive sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. The Milk Carton Kids wrote a parody song on this very subject for the Americana Honours & Awards in Nashville this year.
