This week's episode is the first part of our An August of Americana series. We will discuss the rise of Americana music beginning in the early 90s to today. Uncle Tupelo's first album No Depression was the equivalent of Nirvana's Nevermind when it comes to the resurgence of Americana music. It was even the namesake of the coming movement. We hope you enjoy. Next week we will discuss the second wave of bands that were influenced by Uncle Tupelo.
