AMERICANA

Да много кто. И Криденс тоже. Забавно, что американа возникла как ответ на эксцесссы психоделии, но и Грэйтфул Дэд отметились в ней спустя пару лет по полной!

У Дэд два культовых альбома 1970 года - American Beauty и Workingmans Dead. Американа в чистом виде.

А вот вам точное определение американы с википедии:


Americana is an amalgam of roots music formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the American musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from folk, country, rhythm & blues, rock & roll and other external influential styles.[1] Americana is popularly referred to, especially in print, as alternative country, alt-country or sometimes alt.country.


[edit] Americana as a radio format
Americana, as defined by the Americana Music Association (AMA), is "American roots music based on the traditions of country. While the musical model can be traced back to the Elvis Presley marriage of hillbilly music and R&B that birthed rock n roll, Americana as a radio format developed during the 1990s as a reaction to the highly polished sound that defined the mainstream music of that decade."[1] Because of listener interest in the artists who do not fit as comfortably in the country or rock genres, a radio format called "Americana" was developed by the AMA and reported by R&R (Radio & Records, a radio trade publication). Born out of the Triple A, non-commercial, country and other formats, the Americana format is the sum of the parts that have showcased Americana music since its inception.
