Kathleen Edwards’ Voyageur is the hottest album on Americana music radio this week, moving from #13 into the top four, right behind Ryan Adams, the Jayhawks and Robert Earl Keen.
New to the chart this week: The Little Willies’ For the Good Times (#26), Etta James’ The Dreamer (#34) and Danny Barnes’ Rocket (#40.)
Primed to enter the charts soon is the Guy Clark tribute album This One’s For Him, (reviewed here) which was added by ten stations this week.
The Jayhawks, with founding member Mark Olson on hand for the first time since 1995, have the top album on the Americana Music Assocation chart this week. “Mocking Bird Time” (Rounder) replaces Robert Earl Keen’s “Ready for Confetti” after a one-week run at the top.
New to the top ten is Ry Cooder’s “Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down” (Nonesuch) at number nine. It’s also one of the chart’s most-added albums.
This week’s chart debuts are Will Hoge’s “Seven” (Ryko) at #26 and the Dirt Daubers’ “Wake Up, Sinners” (Colonel Knowledge) at #39.
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.
Robert Earl Keen’s fine new album (reviewed here this week) “Ready for Confetti” moved into sixth on this week’s Americana Music Chart, while the top five places were unchanged, with John Hiatt, Gillian Welch, the Jayhawks, Kasey Chambers and Joe Ely in the top five spots.
New to the chart: The Bottle Rockets’ “Not So Loud” at 40. (Pictured)
