The Alt Root Top Ten For January 20 2021
JP Harris has been doing some math and things just don’t seem to add up. He finds a solution to the conspiracy in the chorus as he uses verses to put down the details on his latest single, “Take Off Your Tin Foil Hat”, in the #1 spot on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, January 20, 2021. Lucero are squeezing their new release When You Found Me for one more advance listen before the upcoming (01-29-21) release as New Orleans Bluesman Alabama Slim offers “Rock Me Baby” from his upcoming (01-29-21) release, The Parlor. Phoenix, Arizona’s Katie Mae & The Lubrication have a new EP (Hazy Angel) and make the chart with “Shivers” joining new singles from Andrew Leahey & The Homestead with “Until There’s Nothing but Air” and Jeremy Pinnell covering Concrete Blonde with “Joey”. From their second album release, Hold the Line, Austin, Texas Folk/Americana duo Hardened and Tempered offer a track on the chart with “Beer Bottles and Broken Hearts”. Josh Hoyer and Soul Colossal are set to release the upcoming (03-29-21) Natural Born Hustler, album number five from the Lincoln, Nebraska Rock’n’Soul outfit, on the list with “Sunday Lies”.
