Picture

Announcing their upcoming (03-03-23) album release for Tough Country, The Panhandlers land in the #1 spot on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday February 1, 2023. The Panhandlers Cleto Cordero (Flatland Cavalry) is joined on vocals by wife Kaitlin Butts with a seasonal song, “Valentines, for Valentines”. Henry Wagons is singing from South of Everywhere, his new album release, introducing a musical sensation from Tasmania with “Felix Granger the Finger Pickin’ Boy” as The Nude Party cross the United States in the storyline for “Hard Times (All Around)’ from -their upcoming (03-10-23) release, Rides On. The Get Right Band bring Psychedelic Funk to the chart with “Hell Yes Refresh” from their upcoming (04-07-23) iTopia as award winning trio Nickel Creek (Chris Thile (mandolin), Sara Watkins (violin), and Sean Watkins (guitar) return with their fifth album, Celebrants (due 3/24/23), on the list with “Strangers”. The guy making the sweet sound from the shadows is Ben de la Cour, who releases his Dark Americana tunes on Sweet Anhedonia (04-14-23), offering an advance listen with “Appalachian Book of the Dead”, on the chart with Forest Sun and his new single “Underwater”, Alastair Greene (Alan Parsons Project) offering a live instrumental, “Back the Poor House” from the Tab Benoit-produced Alive in the New World, and Rachel Baiman questioning how many men does it take to build a “Self Made Man” as she reinvents a John Hartford cut on a track from her upcoming (03-31-23) release, Common Nature of Sorrow. Athens, Georgia swamp rockers Chickasaw Mudd Puppies hop a “Flatcar” to help us exit this week’s chart, the tune found on their upcoming (04-07-23) release, Fall Line, on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday February 8, 2023.
