I logged on to Ourstage today to find that my song Summertown has been moved from Americana to Singer/songwrter.
LOL - like it will have a fighting chance there
Funny - I thought that song is as Americana as you can get. I reckon maybe the definition has migrated some since I first started hearing people use it. I should have been suspicious when I saw that the genre is really titled Americana/Alt Country.
The irony of the fact that I was one of the ones complaining about people putting songs into the wrong genre is not lost on me.
I was thinking about having it pulled - then I watched Vikki's video and thought, "Lighten up, Bro"

I had a song taken out of Americana too, they tried to place it in country but I already had a song there,so now my song sits as unentered. I thought traditional country would fit in Americana, I guess not. They are splitting up others genres into subgenres, why not do the same for country, there are certainly enough country styles out there.
The more you taste the bitterness of defeat, the sweeter final victory will be
May the flowers of love forever bloom in your garden of life
