I migliori 100 album di Americana secondo Dave's Music Database

Dave's Music Database è un sito cult nato ormai da diversi anni grazie alla volontà di Dave Whitaker, un appassionato folle di musica e catalogazione. L'incontro delle due passioni ha portato a Dave's Music Database, nel quale il buon Dave si cimenta in classifiche varie relative al mondo musicale.
