The Alt Root Top Ten For January 6 2021
Picture
To kick start the new year, Andrew Leahey & The Homestead socially-distanced a dream scenario as the band pile into a car, slam the door shut, caress the FM dial to coax out just the right song, and head out on the highway with the single “Keep the Car Running” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Uniting fifteen years of unreleased studio work, Jeffrey Foucault brings his songs together under one audio roof with Deadstock: Uncollected Recordings 2005 – 2020, offering “Here Comes Rainer” on this week’s chart. Brandi Carlile released a 2-sided single for Record Store Day 2020 honoring her younger years in Seattle, covering influential hometown heroes Soundgarden with “Black Hole Sun”. Northwest Georgia’s Pony Bradshaw proudly displays his Appalachian Roots on his upcoming (01-29-21) release, Calico Jim, offering an advance listen with “Sawtooth Jericho” while Canadian Abigale blends traditional Newfoundland music with her own Country Roots in the single “Round the Bay”. Steve Earle & The Dukes tribute gone-too-soon Justin Townes Earle with the album J.T. and on the chart with “Champagne Corolla”. New singles on this week’s chart from Michigan Rattlers with “Like a Kid”, Sunday Wilde bringing Gospel Blues to “Storm is Raging”, and Frenchie’s Blues Destroyers showcasing Frenchie and Brother Pete in “15 Years”. Uncle Ben’s Remedy released an album for the new year in Easy Ways to Here, and offer “Name on His Shirt” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, January 6, 2020.
