Americana Original Songs That You Will Love

By Cynthia Harris


Some people prefer to the instrumentation of the music that they put into their ears be pretty stripped down and not with a lot of gimmicks. That exactly what you will find in Justin Townes Earle's highly popular number called Kids in the Streets. If you are looking for a somber piece of music without a lot of electric instruments overwhelming the sound, this is one of the Americana original songs that is for you.

A good thing to listen to if you want something that goes deep into the heart and soul of a person is Everyone's Looking for Home. This is one that was written by the artist called Sam Outlaw which he included in the second album that he put out. In it, you can take a very journey with this singer.

Jackpot is a musical number by Nikki Lane that can really get people moving if that is the kind of thing that you're looking for. With a really upbeat tune, you can really get a lot of people moving. That is exactly what this stomper does for people, and it is great for any party or get together where you want there to be high levels of energy.

The Band of Heathens has long been respected in this genre and commands a lot of power in their music. All I'm Asking is one of their hits that has received a lot of acclaim. The best time to listen to this one is when you are driving or riding in a car and you have the window down.

Just as the roads we literally drive down must turn or branch off in other directions, so to must we make changes of direction in our own lives. It is nice when we have the right kind of music to give us guidance through those troublesome times. A great song to listen to is named Hope the High Road, and it is sung by the band Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.

If you listen to Still Drivin', you will indulge your ears in a bluesy style with vocals that have a wide range of expression. That is the doing of artist Paul Cauthen, and his music is not as widely known as it should be. In the album My Gospel, you can hear the song called Still Drivin', which exemplifies his range.

Topics like mental disorders and parenthood are often very touchy, and that is why a lot of artists choose to just ignore or avoid them altogether. The very best singers and songwriters are not afraid to plunge into this murky area, but it can only work if they are suited to handle it. Shovels and Rope handles this perfectly in This Ride.

It is an important thing in any song to be able to transition the person from deeper to deeper levels in order to get the person's mind on the level to communicate the ideas that are there. This is something that Amanda Shires has a distinct mastery of, and exemplifies this talent in Harmless. It starts mostly acapella, then builds to a deep thinker piece.
