The Alt Root Top Ten For April 5, 2023
Picture

Cowboy Junkies name their first release of new material in five years Such Ferocious Beauty (due 06-02-23). Lead vocalist Margo Timmins says of the title, ‘within our own humanity there is great heartache and misery but also great joy and comfort.  There is nothing more humbling to me than the ferocious beauty we live amongst, including life and death’. Cowboy Junkies top the chart with “What I Lost”, joining Bettye LaVette when the Soul songstress executes “Plan B” with a cut from her upcoming (06-16-23) LaVette!. A hard-luck hero is the guy walking through “Call My Bluff” from Hungry & Sober, the upcoming (04-28-23) by The Bootstrap Boys as Cup O’ Joe sing of “Hope” with a cut from Why Live Without (due summer 2023), and Dropkick Murphys are joined by Violent Femmes in “Gotta Get to Peekskill” a re-worked Woody Guthrie tune found on the upcoming (05-12-23) Okemah Rising, the band’s second effort using Woody’s words.  East Nashville’s Them Vibes have a new single with “Like We Used to Be”, Memphis Soul revivalist Tony Holiday offers “Get By” from his upcoming (04-14-23) release, Motel Mississippi, and Caitlin Cannon has a new single traveling between “Amarillo and Little Rock”. Swamp Pop Soul Band Shinyribs have an upcoming (07-14-23) release with Transit Damage, on the list sharing “Simply Belong to You” and Eric Sleeper sings of “Dragons” on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday April 5, 2023.
