If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the PBS special "Nashville 2.0: The Rise of Americana". I'm sure it will be rerun on PBS a number of times, if you can catch it, it's fabulous.

It's probably my current favorite genre, at least for contemporary music. I've really taken a liking to the female vocalists in the genre from Gillian Welch to Neko Case to Patty Griffin to Joy Williams (of The Civil Wars). I'm also big on English Folk, particularly Fairport Convention during the Sandy Denny years.
