The Alt Root Top Ten For February 7, 2024
Yep, “California Sober”, it’s a thing. The track opens the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday February 7, 2024 and the story can be found on the recent John Craigie release, backed by TK & The Holy No-Nothings, Pagan Church. Adia Victoria debuts the first single from My Black Country (due 04/12/24) with “Went for a Ride”. The album gathers the music of Alice Randall, NYC-based author and one of the only black female songwriters in Nashville. Alice Randall’s songs have been recorded by artists including Johnny Cash and Trisha Yearwood, with My Black Country showcasing her impactful music recorded by black artists for the first time, with Adia Victoria joined by Allison Russell and Rhianon Giddens among others. A group of Austin musicians formed Grackles, making the chart with “San Antone”, featuring Charlie Musselwhite and Lauren Harris, from their upcoming (02-24-24) self-titled release. Zach Bryan sinks “Nine Ball” on our list from his Boys of Faith EP and Mike Wheeler joins The Delmark Allstars for a new single with John Lee Hooker’s “Serve You Right to Suffer”. Amelia White has one daily goal, “Get to the Show” with a cut from her upcoming (02-23-24) release, Love I Swore. Joe Burclaw (Black 47) partners with Corey Glover (Living Colour) for the funk-driven EP Four on the Floor, making the chart as Bearclaw + The Balance Brigade with a tune that is pandemic-centric, “House Arrest”. New Orleans-based Andrew Jobin & The Crispy Boys prepare the upcoming (02-23-24) The River Above Our House, offering an advance listen with “Eden” as Ian George and Anna Moss deliver the single “Gone”. Closing out the list are Irish balladeers Some One’s Sons and their new single, issuing a request for “One More Minute” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday February 7, 2024.
