Vacation brought a needed break – and an un-requested break down of the Flatlands family truckster…so, I’m very happy to be back in the Cabin with another Top 10 Countdown. These are the top Americana songs I’ll have on repeat for anyone stopping by the Cabin this week. Settle in and grab an ice cold drink!

We’ve got a few new Americana tunes in the Countdown this week – hearty welcomes and slaps on the back to Tyler Childers, The Teskey Brothers and The Steel Wheels.

Number 1 remains The Avett Brothers “High Steppin'” – smooth song from a Cabin favorite.

2. Billy Strings “Takin’ Water”

3. Shovels and Rope “C’mon Utah”

4. J.S. Ondara “Saying Goodbye”

5. **NEW** Tyler Childers “All Your’n”

6. Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real “Bad Case”

7. **NEW** The Teskey Brothers “So Caught Up”

8. Josh Ritter “Losing Battles”

9. **NEW** The Steel Wheels “Keep On”

10. Sheryl Crow/Bonnie Raitt/Mavis Staples “Live Wire”

And…we always have some artists who are still hiking up to the Cabin – and are almost home…

The Rails “Save The Planet”

Eileen Jewell “Crawl”

JJ Cale “Lights Down Low”

Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors “End of the World”

No, I’m not a real estate person trying to sell you a cabin… you’ll get the Top 10 Americana Music tunes I’d make sure I had lined up for you when you got out of cell range and dipped out of radio range. Plus…as usual…we’ll throw in some new tunes with their eye on making it around the campfire!

Not much change on the countdown this week as the Flatlands swelters in a lounge of heat and humidity. The worst of it is coming this weekend, so we’ll pack extra ice and cold adult beverages for you! One new entry to the Top 10 – Billy Strings comes in like a fresh breeze – and hits #5!

Number 1 on the Countdown remains the same – week 2 at the top of the charts for The Avett Brothers “High Steppin'”

2. Yola “Love All Night (Work All Day)”

3. Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real “Bad Case”

4. J.S. Ondara “Saying Goodbye”

5. **NEW** Billy Strings “Taking Water”

6. Gary Clark Jr. “When I’m Gone”

7. Shovels and Rope “C’mon Utah”

8. Ryan Bingham “What Would I’ve Become”

9. Dylan LeBlanc “Renegade”

10. Josh Ritter “Losing Battles”

These tunes are fighting through the heat to earn some love in the Top 10 – close…but, not quite there yet!

Bruce Springsteen “Hello Sunshine”

The Revivalists “Oh No”

JJ Cale “Chasing You”

Willie Nelson “Ride Me Back Home”

Daughter of Swords “Dawnbreaker”

Saturday Sitdown Lukas Nelson Style

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real launched their latest “Turn Off the News (Build a Garden)” – the title track from their forthcoming album Friday night. The tune teams them up with Sheryl Crow on backing vocals and calmly opens Lukas’ world view as we ride the tempestuous waves of the late twenty teens.

It’s a modern twist on the ” Think Globally – Act Locally” stance that makes deep, deep sense in any time. World view aside, it’s a spotless song with strong vocals, heartfelt lyrical composition and conviction of the soul.

Take a look at “Turn Off the News (Build a Garden)” here on Americana From the Flatlands! And look for the full album June 14th!
