Elvis Costello - Trust (1981)

I've often felt we should have an Americana thread at the ol' MG... (... maybe you'd be up for it OUT?)...

In other circumstances I would. Unfortunately I have a side project that makes me listen to a lot of blues music, so I don't get much free listening time to wander through other genres, uh, freely. I'm pretty selfish with the free time I do allow myself.

As an aside, or a coincidence, no, definitely an aside -- over the past couple years I was trying to set up a life change. If successful it would have included recreating the current project but as a beginner's discovery into Texas Swing. I love that style but I know very little about it. Unfortunately that change didn't come to pass. Fortunately, I still have an excuse to listen to a lot of blues.
 
Jesse Winchester - Jesse Winchester (1970)

Really good, underappreciated country/Southern rock album. Winchester impressed The Band's Robbie Robertson so much, he and Levon Helm play on this one.
