The Alt Root Top Ten Songs for April 10, 2019

Our chart has a theme song! For at least seven days, Los Straitjackets will be the introduction to the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 10, 2019. To make the event even more of a celebration, the Austin, Texas instrumentalists are in #1 to celebrate the return mixing dragons with surf music for “Game of Thrones”. Not to take away from the family Stark however the return of the series kinda pales next to Drivin’ n Cryin’ back to the chart with a tune from their upcoming (June 21, 2019) Aaron Lee Tasjan produced release, Live the Love Beautiful, “Step by Step”. Memphis Soul torchbearers Southern Avenue have a cut, “Whiskey Love”, on the chart from their upcoming (May 10, 2019) sophomore release, Keep On, along with a fellow Tennessean from down the Music Highway as Nashville’s Will Kimbrough offers the title track from his upcoming (April 19, 2019) release, I Like It Down Here, the song a tribute to his home state, Alabama. John Batdorf is on this week’s list with a single, “Broken”, pairing with another single release, “Brother’s Keeper” from Glen Hansard in anticipation of his new album (April 12, 2019), This Wild Willing. Politics run the game on news programs, and musical friends offer their opinions and advice on this week’s list when Mandolin Orange sing a song of fighting back with “The Wolves” and The Felice Brothers throw their hat in the presidential ring, making a “Special Announcement” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 10, 2019.
