Emmy Lou - audiophile release or not
Hello everyone,
when you're new to a community, it's always a step to contribute (at least for me) - so that's how I try to do it:
After I didn't find anything to the topic using the search function (someone might teach me better), I now open this thread and officially have to admit:
Yes, I listen to country and americana music
Maybe you have any recommendations you want to give?
Greetings

So, I'm confused about this and maybe the OP can help. Richard Thompson is a Brit, but over there (i.e., in England) they consider his music to be Americana. Indeed, quoting from this link from 2016, "The Americana Music Association UK has chosen celebrated singer-songwriter and guitarist Richard Thompson to receive its highest honour, the UK Americana Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition of his contribution to the Americana genre over the span of his career and life in music."
So, Thompson is at the very least a British Americana artist. Do you folks who listen to this stuff consider him to be "real" Americana?
BTW, Americana seems to be a natural progression for RT. Fairport Convention took "British-cana" -- traditional British folk tunes -- and electrified/modernized them (as did Pentangle and a whole movement of similarly inclined bands in late '60s. Fairport was far and away the best of them all).
