alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For May 10, 2023
Born in Orlando, FLA, Selwyn Birchwood has read a lifetime of headlines about “FLorida Man”, using the phrase as a nametag for the first single from his upcoming (06-09-23) release Exorcist as Malcolm Holcombe sings of “Bits and Pieces”, the title track to his upcoming (06-23-23) album. On her first recording in four years, Lillie Mae & Family deliver a Neil Young cover with “Razor Love”, the cut appearing on her third studio album arriving later this year. Turnpike Troubadours point fingers at the “Mean Old Sun” with a tune from their upcoming (08-25-23) release A Cat in the Rain as the weather forecast continues with “Dark Cloud” from Shinyribs, on the upcoming (07-14-23) Transit Damage, and Leftover Salmon sing of “Fire and Brimstone”, a Link Wray (and Neville Brorhers) cover, on a collaboration with Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) from the string band’s upcoming (05-19-23) release, Grass Roots. Duane Betts, son of Allman Brother Dickey Betts, upcoming (07-14-23) solo debut Wild & Precious Life features appearances by Marcus King, Nicki Bluhm, and Derek Trucks, making this week’s list with “Waiting on a Song”. Lucinda Williams recalls “Stolen Moments” from her upcoming (06-30-23) Stories from a Rock’n’Roll Heart, Vance Gilbert ponders the “Simple Things” from his The Mother of Trouble album, and Forest Sun takes us to an exit with his new single “At the End of Everything” for the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday May 10, 2023.
