Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 7/22/2026
Topping the Top Ten for Wednesday July 22, 2026 is a new single from St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Frontman Paul Janeway penned “Mess I Made” in London on tour at a time when he was ‘dealing with the loneliness and feeling the ambition is a cruel companion’. Aaron Lee Tasjan has a new album, Get Over It, Underdog, and makes this week’s chart with the “Twilight Zone Blues” while Danielle Nicole is joined by Luther Dickinson (solo, North Mississippi All-Stars) for “Take Me Back”, a cut from her upcoming (08-28-26) album, Fireflies. The Dead South cover The Decemberists on a new single, lending a gothic grit to the story of the century-old Granite Mountain/Speculator Mine Disaster for “Rox in the Box”. Katie Pruitt is joined by Nolan Taylor in “Blackout” with a cut from her upcoming (09-18-26) release Fools for the Fleeting while Dublin-born songman Barra John sings “On My Way”. Mary Gauthier offers an advance listen to her upcoming (09-28-26) release with the powerful title track, “Reckoning”. Adam Chaffin proclaims “Lucky Me” with a tune from his upcoming (08-21-26) album Trailer Trash: Doublewide, Forest Sun covers Van Morrison with “Crazy Love”, and Eddie 9V promises he will be “Blowin’ Up” with a cut from his upcoming (11-06-26) Dan Auerbach-produced album Down Here on the Top Ten for Wednesday July 22, 2026.
