A musical genre forever outside the lines With a claim on artists
from Jimmie Rodgers to Jason Isbell, Americana can be hard to
define, but you know it when you hear it. John Milward's
Americanaland is filled with the enduring performers and vivid
stories that are at the heart of Americana. At base a hybrid of
rock and country, Americana is also infused with folk, blues,
R&B, bluegrass, and other types of roots music. Performers like
Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, and Gram Parsons used these
ingredients to create influential music that took well-established
genres down exciting new roads. The name Americana was coined in
the 1990s to describe similarly inclined artists like Emmylou
Harris, Steve Earle, and Wilco. Today, Brandi Carlile and I'm With
Her are among the musicians carrying the genre into the
twenty-first century. Essential and engaging, Americanaland
chronicles the evolution and resonance of this ever-changing
amalgam of American music. Margie Greve's hand-embroidered color
portraits offer a portfolio of the pioneers and contemporary
practitioners of Americana.
