The Alt Root Top Ten For January 13 2021
Picture
Taking elements from his musical experiences in Folk, Blues, Americana, Rock’n’Roll, and Soul, Bow Thayer channels the forest magic of his Green Mountain home for his new single, “Ata Ni”, on weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, January 13, 2021. Charley Crockett didn’t have a song in mind when he entered the studio with Bruce Robison to record a track for Bruce’s label with Kelly Willis, The Next Waltz. Recalling Billy Swan’s “I Can Help” the assembled band backed Charley Crockett, getting the cut in two or three takes for The Next Waltz, Vol. 3 compilation. Strung Like a Horse have another single from their recent release, Whoa!, on the list with “Till the Wheels Fall Off”, joining “Be Good”, the first single from the upcoming (04-30-21) release Love & Rage from Carsie Blanton. Ana Egge addresses the current movement towards social change in her new single “This Time”, Selwyn Birchwood offer an advance listen to the title track from his upcoming (01-29-21) album Living in the Burning House, and Lilly Winwood, daughter to soulful rocker Steve Winwood, offers “Few More Records” from her upcoming (01-29-21) debut, Time Well Spent. Deep in the heart of the U.S. prime location for marijuana cultivation lies “Murder Mountain” and musical outlaw Johnny Ironsights snags the name for his upcoming (03-05-21) release and offers the track on our chart. Ron Pope is joined by Lydia Luce on his new single, “Minneapolis Cold” while Jerry Castle offer “With the Band”, the single one of the last performances by Rolling Stones saxman Bobby Keys on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, January 13, 2020.
