Tides Of A Teardrop, the new album on Yep Roc Records from North Carolina roots duo Mandolin Orange, has debuted at #1 on four separate Billboard charts, including #1 Heatseekers, #1 Americana / Folk, #1 Current Country Albums, and #1 Bluegrass. The band also charted at #2 on Independent Current Albums, #5 Vinyl Albums, #7 Current Rock Albums, and #8 Internet Albums.
