On The Skiffle Trail: A Rock & Roll Journey From New Orleans To Chicago To Britain And Back
From Lonnie Donegan To Elton John As Told By Billy Bragg
Billy Bragg argued last month in a Guardian piece that the British invented the Americana music genre.
The piece was accompanied by a photo of Muddy Waters from the early ’50s recording in Chicago, “where it all began.”
Actually, the Chicago blues were just a linchpin between skiffle and Americana in Bragg’s argument, and it is with skiffle where we too will begin.

Stolen Guitars And Streaming Royalties
1. Chigger Country.
“The lead guitarist for the southern rock band Molly Hatchet is thrilled that a tip from another musician and quick work by the McLean County Sheriff’s Department resulted in the recovery of his custom guitar stolen during a Sept. 8 concert in rural McLean County,” the Decatur Herald-Review reports.
“I thought Miss Molly was gone forever,” performer Bobby Ingram said Monday from his home in Florida.
“The Les Paul Black Beauty custom Gibson guitar valued at more than $12,000 was taken from the stage after a performance at Chiggerfest, an annual music festival west of McLean.”
