alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For April 27, 2022
The words of John Moreland are the foundation for his songs as his music continues to evolve and blur genres. From his forthcoming (07-22-22) Birds in the Ceiling (his sixth studio release), John Moreland offers an advance listen with the single “Ugly Faces”, the cut landing in the #1 spot for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 27, 2022. Nicki Bluhm chronicles her journey, offering observations and advice on how to get in touch with self on her upcoming (06-03-22) release, Avondale Drive, making the list with “Love to Share”. Christine Sweeney is a new voice for Folk Country, offering her recent release, Heart in a Hurry, soundtracked with Bluesy Americana, and on the chart with “Feeling So Low”, sitting beside “Welcome 2 Club XIII”, the title track, and first single, from the upcoming (06-03-22) Drive-By Truckers release and bandleader/guitarist (Mavis Staples) Rick Holmstrom returns for a solo outing with Get It!, saying of “Bubbles” that ‘I’ve had enough existential post-apocalyptic doom. Right now I just want to have a funky good time’. Joana Serrat covers Chris Hillman on “I Still Believe in You”, a tune from his Desert Rose Band. On their upcoming (06-03-22) debut, So Long, Bob Marston & The Credible Sources back “Real Magic Good People” with buoyant effervescence while Jack van Cleaf charms “Rattlesnake” with Alt Folk from his Fruit from the Trees release and Delbert McClinton covers Lloyd Price on “Stagger Lee” from his upcoming (05-13-22) release, Outdated Emotion. Done in the style of a modern Appalachian Folk ballad, The Pinkerton Raid present “Sometimes, Brother”, the story telling of the frustration found in undelivered advice on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 27, 2022.
