Here at Uncut, Americana is very much at the heart of what we do.

Uncut has continued to champion new music from across the spectrum, from minimal techno to drone metal, but Americana –…
A warm, hopeful record straight from the heart of British Columbia.Steve Martin once said that you just can’t sing a depressing song when you’re playing the banjo. He had a point: there’s an inherent buoyancy to the banjo; it tends to make you want to go jog merrily down the road, kicking stones into trees.Now, the previous release by four-time Juno Award-winning songwriters and banjo builders Pharis and Jason Romero was, as you might expect from professional custom banjo builders, very banjo-centric. Not so with These Are the Days That Turn Into Years. The duo’s seventh studio record was recorded…

This year, marks the release of their brand new album, Season Of Surrender, and ahead of this release which as of today is now out,…
Written in a burst of inspiration and largely freestyled in the studio, Sick is a dark, emotionally charged Alt-R&B track from Jena Keating. Drawing from feelings of sorrow, anger and a stubborn sense of hope, the song reflects on a world that often feels broken at its core.The opening line sets the tone immediately: “Sick of a system that’s sick from the center cause…”Against a backdrop of political division, misinformation, ongoing conflicts, attacks on women’s rights and growing social unrest, Sick channels a collective frustration that many will recognise.”Sick of a population running away from their scars.”The song began unexpectedly…

When I first started subscribing to Americana UK back in 2016, it was like having all my birthdays and Christmas come at once, as it supplied me with a daily diet of everything happening in the world of music I love most. These days, one of my greatest pleasures is flipping through the magazine’s back pages, reading old reviews, and checking out all the artists who have warranted coverage over the years. However, one of the biggest surprises I come across whilst perusing these timeless articles is the artist conspicuous through their absence. Those who, in their own way, have…
In September 1966, 23-year-old Jimi Hendrix hit London like a one-man invading army, going from unknown American sideman to guitar-slinging supernova in four months. The original version of this feature appeared in Classic Rock 250, in May 2018. Why did Hendrix have to move to England to find fame and fortune?
