Almost half way through the summer up here on the Flatlands – and our Top 10 is warming up, as well. We’ve got two new entries and a new Number 1! Enjoy!

Let’s dive into the Number 10 slot on our Cabin Countdown with Logan Ledger and “(I’m Gonna Get Over This) Some Day”. Ledger has that classic voice that goes on for days – he’d get my my vote for a new Four Horseman voice!

Americana From the Flatlands Number 9 is Kathleen Edwards and “Options Open” – we’re always open to her stellar vocals and the swooping guitar on this one takes us on a groove this week.

Our first Debut on the Top 10 comes from an artist who was in the Countdown last week and comes back with a new tune at Number 8. Marcus King Band and “Sweet Mariona” is our latest ‘love it’ tune from this talented Crescent Stater.

Number 7 this week is another Debut! Welcome in the newest from J.S. Ondara – “Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday”! Song for the times from someone we consider the Kenyan Dylan – the man’s a storyteller we need (plus the video is superb).

“It Must Be Someone Else’s Fault” by Courtney Marie Andrews knocks on the Cabin door at Number 6 tonight! Seems like another song for the times, but our sense is it could apply any old time. Take it in and make it your own.

She’s one of the leaders and best in the business and Sarah Jarosz has a special tune in at Number 5. “Johnny” is features tender guitar work mixed with confident vocals – great tune from a great artist. You might just get what you paid for…

Caught our Number 4 song on CBS last Saturday as The Jayhawks lit into their latest “This Forgotten Town”. Deeply enjoy the return to some of their roots and, in turn, the roots so much of the music we enjoy was built on. Love the Old 97s T, too!

“Don’t Ask” by John Craigie rambles and struts into Number 3 again this week. It’s well documented that we groove on John’s swag and guitar – we also love the organ dive bombing thru this one. Keep John on repeat!

Change at the top this week! Number 2 on the Top 10 is American Aquarium with “The Luckier You Get”. BJ veers into a new path with this one but they never lose the spirit that has carried them in front of so many fans – another winner for this band.

Ding Ding Ding! Number 1 on the Americana From the Heartland countdown is Nathaniel Rateliff with “Time Stands”! Time Stands is a redwood in a scrub forest – towering yet comforting. Rock strong – rock on Mr. Rateliff.

Appreciate you peeking into the Cabin again this week to grab a glance at the Americana From the Flatlands Top 10 – Americana Music’s best! Check back next week for the songs you’ve been looking to discover!
