In music, Americana is a loose subset of American roots music, that is perhaps best defined as "classic American music" -- ranging in style from patriotic songs like "The Star-Spangled Banner," bluegrass music, Alternative country, and well known children's songs such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt".
