Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 04/30/2025

Picture
Blasting open the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 30, 2025, Whiskey Myers plant “Time Bomb” into the #1 slot with a tune from their equally explosive upcoming (09-26-25) titled Whomp Whack Thunder. Spring is blooming on Kelsey Waldon’s upcoming (06-20-25) album release, Every Ghost, and she shares an audio bouquet of “Tiger Lilies” on the chart. Many artists become fans on the recently released compilation, Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 1. Benefitting The Bridge School, the album roster includes The Lumineers, Brandi Carlisle, Mumford & Sons, Stephen Marley, The Doobie Brothers with Allison Russell, and Steve Earle, who lands on our list with “Long May You Run”. Cole Quest, grandson of Woody Guthrie, is backed by his band for “I Ain’t”, a cut from his upcoming (07-18-25) release, Homegrown as High Drifters deliver the dreamy “A Place in the Sun” and Lukas Nelson offers “Pretty Much” from his upcoming solo release (06-26-25) American Romance. Jesse Daniel partners with David Wesley Godwin for the wisdom of “Time Well Spent for a Man”, a track from Jesse’s upcoming (06-06-25) release, Son of the San Lorenzo as Leftover Salmon welcome in Del McCoury for “Twisted Pine” from their upcoming (05-09-25) Let’s Party About It. Songman Ben Gage backs his single “Corner” with Folk Blues as Wendell Holmes gets ready for “Two Steppin’ Tuesdays, a Western Swing tune from his upcoming (05-31-25) album release, Stone Cold Country Gold, as the song dances us to the exit for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday April 30, 2025.
