About this product
Product Information
Reacting against the accelerating pace of modern life and too-much-information technology, young urban dwellers are carving out a new space, one brilliantly surveyed in United States of Americana. Here we find barbers who instruct men to unplug the Norelco and try their (shaky) hand at shaving with a straight razor; manufacturers of high-end leather goods that outsource to the Amish rather than to India; DJs who rely on wax cylinders instead of digital files; restaurants where wild boar appears on the bill of fare (and the walls); and work wear that once saved the lives of turn-of-the-century Alaskan miners, now reinterpreted for the runways of Paris and Milan. This isn't mere nostalgia, but a conscious celebration of community and sustainability. United States of Americana is the first comprehensive guide to the sounds, sights, tastes, and colorful characters that populate this new old-fashioned world, with topics including: The rise and evolution of alt-country music and the Americana genre (Fleet Foxes, Wilco, the Decemberists, and T-Bone Burnett) and the legends of country, blues, gospel and folk (Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams, Leadbelly) American work wear and heritage clothing and footwear like Red Wing Boots, Pendleton, Filson, and Carhartt Prohibition and pre-Prohibition era cocktails (Old Fashioned, Gin Fizz, Sidecar) and the speakeasy renaissance Nose-to-tail butchering and raising backyard chickens Straight razor shaving and old-fashioned barber shops Burlesque and circuses The resurgence of the vinyl LP Home canning, pickling and preserving The D.I.Y. handmade crafts movement (knitting, needlepoint, soap making)
