The Alt Root Top Ten For March 1, 2023
Picture

There is a chill running up the collective spines of The Nude Party as they deal with love gone wrong in their version of Dr. John’s “Somebody Tryin’ to Hoodoo Me”. The cut lands the band in the #1 spot with a track found on their upcoming (03-10-23) release, Rides On. SoCal Doom Folksinger Cinder Well presents a dark forest of sound on her upcoming (04-21-23) release, Cadence, offering “Two Heads, Grey Mare” for the chart while Jim Lauderdale provides a dose of Bluegrass when he is joined by Po’ Ramblin’ Boys for a new single, “Last Resort”. Ally Venable partners with Buddy Guy to sing about “Texas Lousiana”, a track from her upcoming (03-24-23) release Real Gone and David Childers is backed by The Serpents to cover Prince’s “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” from their upcoming (04-07-23) release, Melancholy Angel. Yarn offer their version of “Cocaine Bear”, a true story covered by the New York Times in 1985 (now made into a motion picture) regarding a bear found dead near a cargo plane downed on the Tennessee/Georgia border that was hauling a cargo of cocaine. Boston-born, Los Angeles-based musician Alice Howe chose Muscle Shoals FAME Studio for her upcoming (04-21-23) release, Circumstances, and she makes the list with “Somebody’s New Lover Now”. Jeff Larson has curated a loving tribute to Tim Hardin with the upcoming (03-07-23) E.P. It’ll Never Happen Again, making the list with “Reason to Believe”. A pair coulda-done-better boys close out the list when Tulsa’s Joey Frendo delivers “Fool Hearted Woman” from his upcoming (04-21-23) Bound for Heartache while RJ Bloke finds liquid love in “Born Thirsty” from his recent release, Hold Drugs Dear, on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday March 1, 2023.
