The term may be used to describe the theme of a museum or collection,[3][4] or of goods for sale.[5] The term can also be used to describe studies of American culture, especially studies based in other countries.[6] Americana music is contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound
