The Sound of New Orleans Americana

"The Sound of New Orleans Americana" captures the unique blend of roots music that thrives in the city’s rich musical landscape. This playlist brings together folk, country, blues, and swampy Southern sounds, featuring artists like The Deslondes, Steph Green, and Esther Rose, who embody the storytelling tradition of Americana with a New Orleans twist. Tracks like "Cocaine and Chicken Fricassée" by John "Papa" Gros and "Down The Line" by Honey Island Swamp Band add a bit of bayou flavor, while acts like Hurray for the Riff Raff and Tuba Skinny tie in threads of folk storytelling and early jazz influences.

From the haunting harmonies of The Lostines to the raw and soulful songwriting of Chris Acker and Duff Thompson, this collection highlights the depth of New Orleans' modern folk scene. There’s a mix of vintage sounds and contemporary spins, whether it’s the honky-tonk tones of Nick Shoulders or the indie folk of Ever More Nest. Whether you're reminiscing about the French Quarter or just looking for well-crafted, unpolished Americana, this playlist offers a little glimpse into the city's ever-evolving roots music scene.
