Was Americana a reaction to world music? Like why look desperately outside your borders when there's a great deal of different traditions at home?
That sounds a tad xenophpobic but I think there's been some interesting stuff from the area.
Think it really starts with The Band , whose 1st 2cds I bought today coincidentally.
Apparently it was THe band that inspired Ashley Hutchings to go & see what traditional British stuff he could come up with for Liege & LIef.
