Americana: a Brit’s eye view
If you’ve tuned into the college’s radio station (WRMC), on a Monday at 3 p.m. this semester, you’ll have caught me chatting away about my favorite country, Americana and classic American rock music during “The Americana Hour.” You’ll have heard about the history of California country, the alternative politics and sound of Americana music, the new artists coming out of Nashville, Tenn. that we should be celebrating, and almost certainly, my love for Bruce Springsteen. The only thing that’s unusual for this kind of show is that you’ll have heard it all in a British accent.
