Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 10/22/2025
Hey! Anyone hear the one about the ghost who attends their own funeral? In case you missed the punchline, Cory Brannan, along with Tyler Childers, offer the story as a new single with “Steppin’ Out”. The song lands in the #1 spot on the Top Ten for Wednesday October 22, 2025 alongside the sweet sound of British Soul from The James Hunter Six as they offer an advance listen with “A Sure Thing”, a track from their upcoming (01-16-26) release, Off the Fence. Zac Brown Band adds Marcus King to their band lineup when the speak of a “Hard Run” from the group’s upcoming (12-05-25) album, Love & Fear. Brandi Carlile is set to release her new album (due 10-24-25), Returning to Myself, and she makes this week’s life with her observations on “Church & State”. Trish Imbrogno aka Trish Plays Bass digs deep to update the vintage tune “Cherokee Shuffle” from her debut E.P., Bluegrass Love Song, Vol.1(due 11-07-25) as Jess Jocoy becomes the self-described “Cul-De-Sac Kid” on the title track from her upcoming (10-24-25) album. Afton Wolfe sings a “Dream Song” from his upcoming (11-30-25) release, Rules of War, Cypress Key share the story of “Monday Afternoon”, and Secret Emchy Society tell 0f a scary night in Alaska with “Bears in the Lot” from their upcoming (10-31-25) release, Queen of Assholes. No is a complete sentence, and Jesse Welles uses the word repeatedly to make his point in the recent single, “No Kings”, on the Top Ten of the Week for Wednesday October 22, 2025.
