Ok, we’re all disappointed that in this week’s Americana Music Chart Will Hoge’s “Number Seven” jumped right past number seven to land in the sixth slot. There goes a perfectly good lead.
Vaulting into the chart at #12 this week is Tom Waits’ “Bad As Me.” Other new entries include Nikki Lane (very impressive at the Thirty Tigers event at the Americana Music Festival) at #24 with “Walk of Shame,” Dale Watson and the Texas Two’s “The Sun Sessions” at #31 and the Indio Girls'”Beauty Queen Sister” at #35.
The top of the chart remained stable, with the Jayhawks, Robert Earl Keen, Ryan Adams, John Hiatt and Ry Cooder remaining in the top fve slots.
