Robert Earl Keen’s “Ready for Confetti” hits number one on this week’s Americana Music Association Chart. That’s no surprise. The album first appeared on the chart a month before release and its climb has been relentless.
John Hiatt’s “Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns” falls to third after a long run at the top. Elsewhere in the top ten, the Jayhawks (#2), Ollabelle (#6) and Guy Clark (#7) also move up.
New to the chart: The Gourds’ “Old Mad Joy” at #34, the genre-defying Pistol Annies’ “Hell on Heels” at #37, and Ray Bonneville’s “Bad Man’s Blood” at #39.
