Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

It's An Americana Music Thing

From the Feb. 27, 2012, Chart Watch by Paul Green Week ending Feb. 24th.

I have become a big fan of this music, although, I have been a fan of many of the groups associated with it for a long time like John Hiatt, the Mavericks and John Prine.  Bit, I have just recently become aware of the brand Americana.

Three new groups considered Americana, which refers to the music industry for  rootsy, guitar-based music.

Three of Billboard's Top 6 albums are by groups classified Americana.

Babel--  Mumford & Sons #1

The Lumineers #5

"Boys and Girls--  Alabama Shakes #6.

Right now I'm listening to a NPR station out of Clinton, Tennessee playing Americana music by Sweet Georgia Brown.

I'm hoping that if Cashbox comes back, they will continue their Americana Top 30 songs which gave the opportunity to listen to the new Americana music.
