Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 01/29/2025
Keeping traditions in their music, Southern Avenue have cultivated a sound true to their Memphis, Tennessee homebase, blending Blues, Soul, and Memphis-Roots. The quartet dances into the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday January 29, 2025 with “Rum Boogie”, a track from their upcoming (04-25-25) release, Family. Wilson Banjo Co. deliver a song to add to any New Year resolution lists for 2025 intentions with “If You Don’t Climb That Mountain” as Joe Ely points to the sawdust dance floor, shouting out “Shake ‘Em Up from his upcoming (02-07-25) album, Love and Freedom. The ground is hard in Massachusetts during January; however, Naomi Westwater is optimistic about her homebase dirt when she plants “Bulbs” as a new single while The Delines share “The Haunting Thoughts” from their upcoming (02-14-25) Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom. The realm on the other side features heavily in Spirits, the upcoming (02-28-25) release from The Devil Makes Three, and they offer advice for dealing with haints in “Ghosts Are Weak” while Paul Thorn tells the true tale of a traveling evangelist and her ventriloquist dummy in “Geraldine & Ricky” from his upcoming (02-21-25) album, Life is Just a Vapor. Coming from the golden desert of California, Jonny Miller Jr. sings history in “They Died with Their Boots On” as The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band releases the first single, the title track from their upcoming (02-21-25) album, Honeysuckle. Americana Roots from Paris, France closes on this week’s chart with Wanomi and their recent single “Through the Cracks” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday January 29, 2025.
