What do you guys think of first when you think of "American music"? Artists, genres, top 5 songs; whatever comes into your head.

*(This is only partly morbid curiosity, you understand. The rest of my objective is to gauge how much wtf face I should make. ;P)

eta; also I am spared from making smitten kitchen's salted caramel brownies only because a) I'm scared of making caramel and b) my roommate made a pan of triple-chocolate brownies the other day. >.>

I think Americana which is an amalgamation of styles: bluegrass, gospel, rock and roll, country, blues and R&B. Artists who are seen as Americana artists (and are among those I enjoy) include Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash, Neil Young, Jason Isbell and Ryan Bingham. If you're at all interested, my last entry included a link to an accoustic set of Ryan's latest album.

Somehow I did not realize Americana was a category! Thanks for the info. :)
