It’s an unusual week on the Americana music airplay chart, with no new entries in the top 40. The Chimes of Freedom Dylan tribute and Gretchen Peters’ Hello Cruel World are among the biggest gainers, with both breaking into the top 10.
The real action is on the most-added list with Anais Mitchell’s Young Man in America, Otis Taylor’s Contraband, the Chieftains’ Voice of Ages, Amos Lee’s As the Crow Flies and the Punch Brothers’ Who’s Feeling Young Now? picking up airplay.
Singer-songwriter and occasional Sun209 contributor Tommy Womack’s new Now What! has been added to seven stations, tying Bruce Springsteen. Pretty good company.
