Here’s some the best Americana and roots-type music releases for July 10th, 2026. Click the artist or album links to find out more. The artist’s names link to their websites and the CD title links go to either Amazon, iTunes, Bandcamp or the artist’s site for ordering or downloading. A + sign means although not a featured release, it’s a notable album that’s still worth checking out. Also, this page will be updated as I find out about other new releases so check back again.
Allison Russell
In The Hour of Chaos (Black Wonder/Fantasy Records)
Allison Russell’s new album testifies to the power of resilience and unity in the face of the political, social, economic, and personal chaos we face daily in these times. Inviting 28 other artists — including Norah Jones, Brittney Spencer, Joy Oladokun, Kyshona, and Devon Gilfillian, among others — to join her on various songs on the album, Russell creates an ebullient community of song. In the Hour of Chaos celebrates the enduring joys and hopes fostered by our being in community, loving one another, and working for the common good. (edited from No Depression review)
