Americana From the Flatlands Top 10 Countdown from The Cabin – July 6th!

Monday night means Americana From the Flatlands Top 10 Cabin Countdown! We give you the top Americana Songs we’ve got playing in the Cabin this week. Three new entries coming up!

First new entry to the Top 10 is at Number 10 as Neil Young brings us “Homegrown” from the album of the same name. The slide guitar slides us back in time, but Neil’s music is always contemporary.

Back to back new tunes – Ray LaMontagne has Number 9 wrestled down with “Strong Enough“. Ray seems to have the big wheel turnin’ and flexes a style reminiscent of his earlier works. Happy to hear new music from this guy!

With geographic influences from the SW US to Belgium, Courtney Marie Andrews hits Number 8 on the countdown with “It Must Be Someone Else’s Fault“. Americana Music is better with CMA hitting the charts.

Top 10 rolls into Number 7 with Ondara and “Lockdown Date Night Tuesday“. Ondara gets me wanting to hop a train to wherever when he pops in the Cabin. It’s an international view of Americana that is very valuable right about now.

Number 6 on the Cabin Countdown is The Dead Tongues and “Peaceful Ambassador“. Another debut for us this week, it’s a fuller sound for the Tongues, but still a simple purity to the tune that is quintessential Dead Tongues, right down to the harmonica!

A former top song registers at Number 5. American Aquarium and “The Luckier You Get” musters their work ethic to get us to the halfway point this week. No Depression featured BJ Barham in their last issue – hunt it down for a good read.

Up one spot this week to Number 4 is Sarah Jarosz telling us all about “Johnny“. The link below is a Mahogany Session tearing Johnny down to the bare studs. Jarosz always builds mansions with her stories and this one is no different…

We’ve sauntered up to Number 3 – John Craigie seems to be locked in at this spot again this week. “Don’t Ask” drops the organ on a strong backbeat to rattle you into the station. John highlights a new, more muscular sound with this one – and it works.

Flying the airwaves at Number 2 this week are The Jayhawks with “This Forgotten Town“. This band has made the rounds in COVID world 2020 very well and this song has driven the bus. Their XOXO album will feature more as we head into Autumn.

And who’s Number 1 on the Americana From the Flatlands Top 10? How ’bout Nathaniel Rateliff and “Time Stands“? Rateliff has crossed over into a lot of different genres with his latest. The thing is…great music will always catch ears…no matter where it’s played.
