I didn't mean as in "any music from America", I meant the genre "Americana" that refers to folk and blues and roots-rock and alt-country and stuff like that.

I'm assuming you are talking about "roots" music, like bluegrass, and blues. I like it, but I don't listen to it all the time. As for favorite artists, probably some local bands that you have probably never heard of. The Dewaynn Brothers-bluegrass Moreland and Arbuckle-Blues

I think "Americana" is music that could have been heard on AM radio in the 1970s (but better!)
My favorite Americana band is Hem -- Rabbit Songs is a fantastic album.
"The Fire Thief" and "Carry Me Home" are my two fave songs.

Well I actually I think where you live has a lot to do with the type of music you listen too. When I lived in Florida Black Oak Arkansas and Molly Hatchet is very popular there. Now that I live in Texas it seem that country reigns. I listen to just about any type of music.
