Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 4/01/2026
On her first release in nearly a decade, Tift Meritt announces the upcoming (06-26-26) release, Sugar. She offers an advance listen with “Finest Feelings”, landing the tune in the #1 spot on the Top Ten on Wednesday April 1, 2026. Dale Watson has an upcoming (04-24-26) release, Unwanted, and he bares his heart for the Outlaw story of love with “She Was My Baby” while Dirt Road Souls stick to the loving theme with “Next to You”, a cut from their upcoming (04-03-26), The Life and Times of Johnny Moonshine. Fred Ross provides vintage Soul for his single “If I Had You” while Hiss Golden Messenger offers “Shaky Eyes” from his upcoming (05-01-26) release, I’m People. Dosing his Country with a lot of Soul, Nashville’s Boo Ray offers a new single that claims “Broken Hearts Are Paint” as Hi Desert songman, Brad Bryd pens wisdom into the observations of his new single, “Changes Change” as Northern Hollow deliver melancholy Americana from their base in Sweden. Hector Gannet sees “Seven Signs” on Indie Folk Rock from his home in North Shield on Tyneside and social activist Crys Matthews shouts out a rallying cry to rise above the turmoil with her new single (released on No Kings Day) “Forged in Fire” on the Top Ten on Wednesday April 1, 2026.
