I'd be interested in hearing a few of your Americana recommendations. I've got mixed feelings toward this genre - while I really enjoy the original roots of it (old country, old blues, rockabilly, etc.) I find a lot of the contemporary lyrics and themes to seem kind of false in this day and age. I mean, here in Los Angeles I know a few performers in that genre, and it's kinda hard for me to listen to them portraying nostalgic themes when I know that when the show is over they're going to be checking their Twitter analytics
