Release context
A later chapter in the Americana sequence
Our Country: Americana Act II was made available on June 29, 2018. The release extended the narrative world introduced by Americana, using a sequence of songs and spoken framing to follow an imagined journey through the United States.
The record is best approached as a connected work rather than a collection of unrelated tracks. Its settings move through memories of travel, performance, work, home and cultural dislocation, while returning to the close observation and character-led writing that run through much of the wider catalogue.
Resource perspective
This page preserves the original release announcement as historical context. It is not a current sales notice, availability update or official communication. The entry is included to mark the record's place in the later public chronology and to provide a concise route into its themes.
The title's second-act framing signals continuity: familiar ideas are revisited from a changed vantage point, with the road narrative becoming a way of considering identity, belonging and the stories people make around music.
