| Boot Americana and Hat Americana
In my Zach Bryan review I asserted that modern “Americana” artists can be classified along a spectrum of “Boots” to “Hats”, similar to the egg punk / chain punk dichotomy. Thought it might be fun to continue the fun here, and see how many artists we can classify this way before the system breaks down. | | 1 |  | Gillian Welch
Boots No. 1: The Official Revival Bootleg
“Boot Americana lies close to the earth — it’s a barroom floor sticky with alcohol and blood and the dust kicked up during a night of revelry. It’s stepping onto a lifted truck; it’s flipping up the kickstand on your motorcycle. It’s a hard-drinking, hard-smoking, hard-headed tale of a hard-living hard-day’s-work. Boot Americana is for the Steve Earles and Gillian Welchs of the world” | | 2 |  | Steve Earle

“Hat Americana, though? Hat Americana is the head in the clouds. Hat Americana is eyeshadow and sequins; it is the ornery fringes and cashmere tassels on a pink and white cowboy duster. It is wistful crooning delivered with a wink and a sigh by someone too emotionally aware for the haircut they sport. Hat Americana is for the Honey Harpers and Orville Pecks.” | | 6 |  | Sturgill Simpson

12.06.23 | now there is a song i forgot about. | ArsMoriendi
12.06.23 | Which one is that Sturgill guy | Butkuiss
12.06.23 | You know what? Sturge has a deceptively boot voice but hat lyrics, a hat sound, and a hat philosophy. I’m calling him hat with boot tendencies. | SomeCallMeTim
12.06.23 | I initially thought this would be a beat boxing list too | Butkuiss
12.06.23 | I’ll change the list title just for you, Tim 😔 | Cygnatti
12.06.23 | Fun dynamic. I find that almost every sub genre has various “schools of thought” / “approaches” to them. It’s fun to categorize newer release with these schools in mind. |
