I love lots of it, not keen on the term 'Americana' tho, used an awful lot these days.

I'm not sure what it is, exactly.  Is it just American bands that are not explicitly rock or country (or rap or whatever, for that matter).  I read the Wiki link above, but I'm still confused.  I think I have a bunch of it by bands like The Dodo's, the Low Anthem, Pink Mountaintops, Papercuts...
