AMERICANA MUSIC RADIO STATIONS. These are the creative broadcasters who play AMERICANA, roots country, newgrass and bluegrass, insurgent country, twang-core, or just plain real country music with a twang that you probably won't find on mainstream "hot country" stations. In many cases the artists are tried and true legends of country ala Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, as well as the best of the newcomers who play music that actually sounds "country" but by today's definition is not the youthful country-pop bubblegum that has coopted the term. As a broad music and radio format category AMERICANA is the progressive, album/artist oriented movement.
