Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 11/12/2025

Picture
For his new single, Grayson Capps wears the skin of a young woman living in 2025 Alabama (the musician’s home state). On his first original song release in eight years Grayson Capps delivers a protest song, and to show support for the banner he is waving, we felt that he deserved to sit in the peak position of #1 for the Top Ten on Wednesday November 12, 2025. Pine Box Dwellers offer a split-single with Blossomin’ Bones. The Pine Box Dwellers track “Runnin Blind” makes the chart as Sophie Gault becomes “Unhinged” riding an Outlaw Country groove with the title track to her upcoming (01-23-25) release and Forest Sun offers the last single release, “I’m Only Lonely When I’m with You” before his upcoming (11-12-25) album release, All Hearts Are Free. Things change from generation to generation and the stories from youth get taller each year and Lucas Wayne is here with a bit of factual history that acts as a label warning with his single “Not Your Papaw’s Pot”. New England Roots Americana is the soundtrack for Gnarly Darling as they discuss “Beauty in a Bruise” on a cut from their upcoming (11-14-25) Blossoms Into Reality release while Joe Kocher promises “It’ll Be Alright” as he lists the many daily hurdles that a worldwide human population encounters daily and Jennie Arnau has a tale to tell about “Mabel” with a tune from her recently released album, A Rising Tide. Paul Nazole has a recently released self-titled album and asks “Why Go Home” on this week’s list while Kurt Lee Wheeler offers “Faces”, found on his recently released Lathemtown, on the Top Ten for Wednesday November 12, 2025.
