Americana is more than just Country. It is a modern interpretation of all that makes up American music. Americana borrows from Blues, Jazz, Country, Western and American folk.
Just as Western Swing borrowed from Western, Jazz and even Hawaiian music or Rock and Roll blended Country and Blues; Americana is an amalgamation of many genres, and is still evolving. It is the American soul, the aural manifestation of the "melting pot".
