Listen: Dead Wax – Oct. 10, 2013

"Americana" is the name of the game in this episode, as I discover a bunch of great new music, (almost) all of which seems oddly to fit into this narrow-yet-dynamic genre. We hear a lot of various takes on the classic American traditions of roots, rock, folk, country, and blues. We also hear a couple of songs that have absolutely nothing to do with those traditions. Overall, we have fun.
