Kicking off the Top Ten Songs of the Week for Wednesday October 8, 2025, Paul Cauthen sits in the top spot claiming “Ain’t No Crime”. India Ramey gets ghoulish with a seasonal single, “Six Feet Under”, while Greensky Bluegrass are joined by Lindsay Lou for “In Control” as they prepare for their upcoming (10-31-25) release, XXV, an album that celebrates the band’s 25thanniversary. Cordovas announce an upcoming (01-30-25) album, Back to Life, with the single “Higher Every Time” as Queen Esther suggests to “Hold Steady”, an inspirational advance cut from her upcoming (February 2026) release, Blackbirding.
