latho, meinst du nicht Americana?
Nein, OK, ist wohl doch enger gefasst, als ich gedacht hatte. Wikipedia sagt tatsächlich: Cultural origins [Alternative country ]: Late 20th century … wohl explizit als Gegenbewegung zum Nashville-Sound [der 90er]. Dann ist Gram Parsons da natürlich raus; das war ja sowieso Cosmic American Music.
Attempts to combine punk and country had been pioneered by Nashville’s Jason and the Scorchers, and in the 1980s Southern Californian cowpunk scene with bands like the Long Ryders[3] and X,[11] and the Minneapolis-based band The Jayhawks, but these styles merged fully in Uncle Tupelo’s 1990 LP No Depression, which is widely credited as being the first „alt-country“ album, and gave its name to the online notice board and eventually magazine that underpinned the movement.
