The Alt Root Top Ten For May 4, 2022
Picture
The territory in “Shade Tree American Dream” is a fantasy landscape, for Taylor Scott the image represented is ‘about friendship. This song is about lighting up at 10AM in the morning. This song is about standing around in the street with your neighbors at 6:30 on a Friday night. This song is about a beer on the porch in the middle of the work day’. The perfect way to roll into a May spring, up in the #1 spot with “Shade Tree American Dream”, from the upcoming (late summer/fall 2022) release The Hang, the call out coming from Taylor Scott Band to have some fun with friends. For his fourth edition with Lil G Presents Jukebox Charley, Charley Crockett presents the Johnny Paycheck tune as title track while Jonah Tolchin offers “Never Giving Up” from his upcoming (07-15-22) release, Lava Lamp, and Buffalo Hunt teams up with Shakey Graves for the duet “Which One of Us”, found her recently released album, Ambitions of Ambiguity. Violet Bell release the first single, “Meet Me in the Garden”, from their upcoming fall (Oct 2022) release, Shapeshifter, John Calvin Abney offers “Sleepwalkers” from his upcoming (08-05-22) release, Tourist, and Sarah McCulloch takes claim to being “Half Crazy” on a cut from her recent release, The Sawmiller’s Daughter. Baltimore, Maryland Alt Country comes from Kurt Deemer with “Dead of Night” and Syd Carter West offers her new single “Better Off”, Patty Griffin shares a collection of demos and home recording with the upcoming (06-10-22) Tape, giving an advance listen with “Get Lucky” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday May 4, 2022.
