American roots music, also known as Americana music, can be
challenging to categorize, spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass,
country, blues, rock and roll, and an assortment of variations in
between. In The Downhome Sound, Mandi Bates Bailey explores the
messages, artists, community, and appeal of this seemingly
disparate musical collective. To understand the art form's intended
meanings and typical audiences, she analyzes lyrics and interviews
Americana artists, journalists, and festival organizers to uncover
a desire for inclusion and diversity. Bailey also conducts an
experiment to assess listener reception relative to more commercial
forms of music. The result is an in-depth study of the political
and cultural influence of Americana and its implications for social
justice.
