I'm curious as to how you would define "Americana", Safar. To me it's an all purpose category which includes a lot of musicians who would seem to not have a lot to do with one another, from purely acoustic music to performers like Gillian Welch to straight ahead rock and rollers like Webb Wilder. It's like, "we'll, we don't know what to call it--it's ot a clear cut category like counrty, folk, metal or punk, so let's just call it Americana."
