The Alt Root Top Ten For January 24, 2024
Picture
Though Charley Crockett didn’t intend to write a theme album, he felt in the perfect spot to be reporter for the state of America in 2024. Charley recalled that ‘this material is written at truck stops, it’s written at casinos, it’s written in the alleys behind the venues, it’s written in my truck parked up on South Congress in Austin. A ramblin’ man like me, a genuine transient, is in a pretty damn good position to have something to say about America’. The upcoming (04-26-24) release collects Charley’s overview in $10 Cowboy, the title track landing in the #1 place on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday January 24, 2024. Sam Morrow is on the list with “By Your Side” from his upcoming (03-22-24) On the Ride Here, Pi Jabobs seeks balance in “Too High Too Low” from the upcoming (04-26-24) Soldier On, and the Pernice Brothers return to the chart, and recording, after a hiatus with the title track to the upcoming (04-05-24) Who Will You Believe. Austin, Texas songman JB Elwood has a new single, “Take Me Back” as The Coal Men put out “Black Cat” from the upcoming (03-29-24) Everett. The Western Swing Authority explain the benefits of “Happy Chickens” from their upcoming (02-09-24) release 12 to 6 Central, and Josh Langston is “Living in a Song” from his upcoming (03-29-24) Tastes Like Sin. Sour Bridges are set to release Down and Out (due 02-09-24) making the chart with “Tighten Up” as The Bacon Brothers prepare The Ballad of the Brothers (due 04-19-24) offering a listen with “Put Your Hands Up” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday January 24, 2024.
