The Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival celebrated its third year -- and its most epic year yet -- in 2017.

The Boot counts down 2016's best Americana, alt-country and folk songs of 2016.

These past few years have brought with them some amazing releases from Americana, alt-country and folk artists, but 2016 might have been the best year yet.
