What Is Americana?
Many may be wondering exactly what styles of "Country" music are included under this topic of Americana. While evryone's definition may be different, I'm going to define it generally as traditional forms of the genre. Specifically, besides Bluegrass and Western styles, I'll also cover those mainstream artists that consistently perform Traditional Country music. Some examples of this latter category include not only Mandy Barnett and Brad Paisley, but Hank Williams III and Danni Leigh. This month we'll take a look at the sites of both a recent IBMA Female award winner as well as one of the associations promoting Western music.

Another Potpourri
This month we'll explore another potpourri of sites. Imagine yourself, sitting around a camp fire after a long day and a hearty meal. And imagine soft guitar music about the romance of the West and the trail. I've got some more Western music sites that I think you might find of interest. But I don't want to overdo it, so we'll get back to more mainstreet topics next month. We'll also look at a site that should answer the most frequently asked question I receive from a wide variety of readers. So jump in the saddle buckaroos, let's head 'em out.

Internet Broadcasting
In April of this year, I gave you a brief look at the NetRadio site. This month we'll take a more detailed look at another internet broadcast site: Spinner.Com. I became aware of this site when a limited set of its stations were offered over Comcast @Home, one of the cable-modem internet access services. In exploring Spinner's site, I discovered a broader set of stations than was offered through the @Home site. Recently the technology has been updated to take advantage of higher bandwidths, giving FM-quality streaming.

Sites Representing the Diversity of Country & Western Music
This month we're going to look at two sites with different perspectives on Country & Western music. The first, the Arbuckle Boys, celebrates the western heritage of the American cowboy. The second, the West Coast Pinups, features a band that produces music that centers around Bakersfield honky tonk and vintage Nachville country. Lastly, we'll look at a record label that is putting their entire catalog on line (well, kind of).

Musical Instruments- The Saxophone
In the mid 1800's a radically new musical instrument was invented. It was a strange hybrid of metal and wood, yet it had a sound that was said to mimic the human voice.

Americana Hits Mainstream Audiences
Lately, I've been listening to more traditional styles of Country & Western music. I'll be the first to admit that today's pop-influenced Country radio has left me a bit cold. The last time this happened, I switched from 60's Rock & Roll to Classical and Jazz; I guess that really dates me. This month, we'll look at two sites that deal with what's commonly called Americana. However, these sites are primarily oriented toward Bluegrass. Even if you still like today's Country radio, take a moment to explore these offerings.

An Online Encyclopedia of Country Music
There are probably two kinds of people who listen to Country & Westen Music: those who listen to the music as pure entertainment and those who listen to the music as an art form. I know several people who are cringing at the latter part of that last statement; but music is an art form and, therefore, Country & Western Music can also be viewed as such. While not discounting the former set of listeners, the latter may find this month's site of extreme interest. What confuses most listeners is trying to understand the types and styles of Country music. We'll look at a site that tries to define these and then puts some meat into their various categories.
