@Wander I knew My Bubba (their body percussion is fantastic). Hadn't heard him though. Sort of a Colter Wall feel. Good stuff.Gillian Welch and Lucinda Wlliams really blew the doors off for anything even slightly Americana to have a wider audience. No bad thing.

We're in the midst of an Americana renaissance. And while have lost folks like Guy Clark as a great generation of singers/songwriters ages, the likes of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Ray Wylie Hubbard, James McMurtry, Jorma Kaukonen, and others are still producing music, including live music. Lucky us.
Towards the country end of the spectrum, you have the emergence of Shooter Jennings, Brent Cobb, Dave Cobb, Chris Stapleton, Landhorne Slim, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, Ryan Bingham, Sturgill Simpson, Margo Price, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Rayland Baxter, Mary Gauthier, and Hayes Carll just to name a few.
Then there are tons of folky and (new / ) grassy (Billy Strings, Shakey Graves, Punch Brothers, Wood Brothers, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters, Lil' Smokies, Trampled By Turtles, Pert' Near Sandstone, millions more of em) acts as well. And many of the best ones can span all of the above genres and more.

May I add-Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, and the fabulous Quebe Sisters.

Enjoyed this 'Americana' recently…

"Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine covered by a band with horns. How cool is this?
Also, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with her.

Did I mention, that I dislike future music long lists…. here is the BBC-2019 Long List.

When it comes to live producing music solo on stage... FKJ was the man in 2018 for me:
Meute live 2018
...
Today I drove with my little son to our local Ski area Winterberg.
We had 5 hours to listen and discuss music ... loved and enjoyed every second!
We heard two independent German radio stations called ‚Dradiokultur‘ and ‚1Live‘.In the end, he likes this song a little bit (had to explain a lot 8)).
He complete crosstalked this beautiful tune :'(, but he was on fire after a wonderful Ski day :D:

there are so many great releases planned for 2019, but this offering by Ms Sharon Van Etten is surely going to be one of my albums of the year. 1 week to go

Surprised to see Mink DeVille here. Saw them many times as well as doing several shows with them at CBGB and on the road. Great band. True story,Capitol Records had came to CBGB to see and sign a band called Tuff Darts. Mink DeVille were opening for them,my band The Poppees was third on that bill. Unfortunately for the Tuff Darts, they got there early saw Mink DeVille,signed them and passed on the Tuff Darts.
