Preparing a playlist of favorite song tunes The Deslondes land in the peak position for the Top Ten on Wednesday March 4, 2026. On their upcoming (05-22-26) release, Don’t Let It Die, Vol. 1. The New Orleans-based band presents an analog-tape recorded album that features songs from a wide-range of musicians, including Louisiana hero Clifton Chenier as well as Johnny Cash, Shelby Lynne, and Swamp Dogg among others. They come bearing their version of a traditional tune for an advance listen to the new record, landing The Deslondes in the #1 spot with “Lawdy Mama”. The cut joins “Before I Hung Your Picture” on the first single from a upcoming (03-27-26) deluxe version of Rodney Crowell’s Airline Highway. Top shelf songman Adam Chaffin delivers an opinion on world events with his new single “Sugercoat It” as Daniel Romano’s Outfit are “Preserver of the Pearl” with the title track to their recent release, recorded live-to-tape at the band’s Carnera Varda Studio. Charley Crockett is wrapping up his three-album series, The Sagebrush Trilogy. His upcoming (04-02-26) release, Age of the Ram, is the final chapter with the single “Fastest Gun Alive” making the chart. Recent mama and papa Adrian & Meredith stand tall on a new single to claim “Start Getting’ Serious” while Banshee Tree claim “Bad Luck” with the title track to their upcoming (04-17-26) release. Susto Stringband consider “Hard Drugs” with a track featuring Morgan Wade that can be found on their upcoming (05-29-26) Susto Stringband, Vol. 2 as Trey Stevens sings a song for “Arkansan Crystal”.
