@ owlies, the only real difference that I can tell is that Americana is basically folk, whereas alt-country is everything good about country (roots - bluegrass, blues, gospel, etc.) that isn't pop country.

it's hard to distinguish between americana and alt-country - if painting with a broad brush you could say that americana has blues roots, but i think there is a small difference between blues and country. i've heard country called the "white man's blues."
