JC's Americana Top 8 of '06

The list author says:
	"Graham Lindsey went to Europe to bring out his sophomore effort (US release Summer '06)"

The list author says:
	"LA's Tom Brosseau went to Europe, too.  What do the Brits know that Nashville don't?"

The list author says:
	"David went to Europe, and stayed there.  Texas thru a new Dutch lens."

The list author says:
	"Hank's family tradition is bypassing Europe & heading Straight to Hell."

The list author says:
	"Saw Tom Russell live.  Very nice collection."

The list author says:
	"As featured on A Prairie Home Companion, Halden Wofford is too Country for "country" radio.  This is good old fashioned music that would make Hank & Lefty proud."

The list author says:
	"The final (?) word from producer Rick Rubin. I am so glad "Like the 309" gave us one more Johnny Cash train song..."

The list author says:
	"While I anticipated the release of American V, I've found myself spending much more time with Personal File. The 2nd disc of gospel tunes has become a must-listen Sundays.  The highlight, tho, has been the straight-ahead old-fashioned country tracks like Girl from Saskatoon, a perfect foil to the American series productions."

The list author says:
	"Late '05 release of alot of great roots music out of Chicago. I'll be mining far beyond 2006."
