Americana chart: Ry Cooder, John Doe among new entries

 in Americana Music

Today the new Americana Music Association Chart showed Matraca Berg still in the Top 20 with her “The Dreaming Fields” album. Tonight she sang her “You and Tequila” (number four in this week’s Billboard country charts) on stage at the Ryman Auditorium along with Grace Potter and Kenny Chesney. That’s a pretty good Monday.
The chart remained largely unchanged this week, with John Hiatt still at number one and no new Top 10 entries.
New to the Americana Music chart: Ry Cooder’s “Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down,”(pictured) Girls Guns and Glory’s “Sweet Nothings,” Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s “Heirloom Music” and John Doe’s “Keeper.”
