 Americana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Americana refers to artifacts of the culture of the United States.
Examples of this culture include baseball, apple pie, the Diner, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and American Folk Art, such as that of Norman Rockwell.
In music, Americana is a loose subset of American roots music, that is perhaps best defined as "classic American music" -- ranging in style from patriotic songs like "The Star-Spangled Banner," bluegrass music, Alternative country, and well known children's songs such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt".
