Americana is the new word for American music today, drawing from the various roots of our current music scene including Country, roots-rock, bluegrass, blues, etc....Well Carlene Carter returning home to Nashville's Ryman Auditorium (Arguably the HOME base for Americana) for a stellar performance, opening the show for John Mellencamp's stellar performance, just has to be Americana in it's purest form. 

John Mellencamp Performs at Aronoff Center with Carlene Carter

John Mellencamp was in town with Carlene Carter (June Carter Cash's daughter) for a sold out show at Proctor & Gamble Hall last night. The band played all the classic Mellencamp songs and about half of their new album, Plain Spoken. Mellencamp sounded as good as when I saw him in the early 90's at a festival. Mellencamp is on an extended tour in the United States. Addition images and crowd photos will be posted this week in NBC's music section at NBC Music(dot)com.
