The Alt Root Top Ten For April 6, 2022
Picture
Nathan Kalish is cruising down the eastern U.S., experiencing a little trouble finding the brake pedal as he rolls “Past the Everglades” on the first single from his upcoming (07-22-22) release, Great Big Motel Bed in the Sky. Haitian-born, New Orleans-based musician Leyla McCalla claims “You Don’t Know Me” with a cut from her upcoming (05-06-22) album, Breaking the Thermometer while Erika Lewis (Tuba Skinny) offers “A Thousand Miles” from her release A Walk Around the Sun (04-29-22) and Albany, Georgia native Evan Barber describes a place that never seems to change with “N. Florida” found on his upcoming (04-29-22) release, Until the Thunder. East Nashville’s Andrew Leahey and the Homestead ready a release (05-06-22) in American Static, Vol. 2, making the list with “Caught Like a Fire” as Kathleen Edwards mixes “Dogs and Alcohol”, the title track from her E.P. as Delbert McClinton lets the bartender do the magic when he orders “One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer”, the Amos Milburn tune made famous by John Lee Hooker, and found on Delbert’s upcoming (05-13-22), Outdated Emotion. Garrett Heath covers John Hartford with his single “In Tall Buildings” and Ron Steven Houston breaks down the details of his circles round the sun with “In My Life” from his A Long Road Home album on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 6, 2022.
