The Americana Music Association broadly defines ‘Americana’ as “roots music based on the traditions of country...including influences ranging from folk to bluegrass to blues and beyond.” But if you get right down to it, Americana is a genre created to recognize a growing niche of consumers with taste and distinction (yes you!) who refuse to accept a musical heritage as defined by Clear Channel. Intuitive and intelligent (yes you!), they seek songs with substance. Their music lives on public, college, and community radio and is spun by the last true DJs in America. The CDs in this section feature Donal Hinely on guitar and vocals joined by an impressive array of musicians and special guests including: David Henry, Will Kimbrough, Kim Richey, Mindy Smith, Fats Kaplin, Tommy Womack, and members of Wilco, Counting Crows, and the Edwin McCain Band.
