Anyone have any Americana artist I missed and you would recommend?

Not so much, but I have seen ROBERT EARL KEEN in concert.

How can Blues music not be considered Americana? :dunno:

 

[Asher]

I like Uncle Tupelo and Whiskeytown. Another great alt-country group is the Old 97's.

The Drive-by Truckers should really be one of the biggest bands in the world. Man are they under rated. They play rock n roll, hard rock, bluegrass, country...a little bit of everything and Patterson writes some amazing lyrics.

I am a big Ragweed fan too!!!

I go back to Texas for Charlie Robison's B-Day show at Green Hall every year. It is always one of my favorite shows.

Have you listen to much Chris Knight? That is good stuff. I think you might like him a lot.

Check out the band Chamberlain. They used to be an Emo Hardcore band called Split Lip but changed their name after they changed their style. They're not together anymore but I think the lead singer just came out with a solo album.

The local stations will throw in some blues, bluegrass, rockabilly and classic country, so it's always fun to listen to.

My favorite station is out of Stephenville :

Locally we've got :
The Range (out of Plano) - http://www.khyi.com/

Good stuff Gummi Bear!!!

You even got Fred Eaglesmith, nice

Where is the "Ryan Bingham" and "The Band of Heathens"?

 

[Gummi Bear]

I don't know why I don't have any Ryan Bingham.

Band of Heathens doesn't get much airtime, so I've never really latched onto their music. They any good?

I don't know why I don't have any Ryan Bingham.

Band of Heathens doesn't get much airtime, so I've never really latched onto their music. They any good?

Bingham's new album was produced by Marc Ford of The Black Crowes. It is awesome. He lives down the road from me in Malibu, CA. He is a buddy of mine. Band of Heathens played his wedding this summer.

Band of Heathens new album was #1 of the Americana Charts for a long time. It is down at #4 this week. Man, it is a great album. It is bluesy, rootsy and soulful. I highly recommend it.

Here is live video

Chris Knight is amazing. Two songs really stand out "William" and "Down the River".

Favorite DBT song for me has to be "The Boys From Alabama".

I've been fortunate enough to see Chris Knight twice, both in small venues. The first was at a record shop, that used to have a performer come in on Fridays (Bills Records and Tapes : http://www.billsrecords.com/index.html) and the other time at Love & War in Texas with Austin Cunningham (Love & War : http://www.loveandwarintexas.com/)

Chris is the undisputed "King of the Killin' Tune"


As for DBT, I dig Gravity's Gone and My Sweet Annette

I've seen Chris Knight four times. I am a bigger fan of his song writing than his live shows.

My favorite live shows are Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Charlie Robison and Cross Canadian Ragweed. I have seen them all 10+ times. I never missed REK when he comes to town and I fly back to Texas every Labor Day to go to Charlie Robison's B-Day Party at Gruene Hall in Gruene, TX. Gruene Hall is my favorite place in the world.
