Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 05/28/2025

Picture
Idaho’s musical Braun family tree has many branches. In Micky & The Motorcars, brothers Micky and Gary Braun drive up the “High Road” with fellow Austinite Kelley Mickwee jumping on for a ride that takes the recent single into the #1 spot on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday May 28, 2025. North Mississippi Allstars warn of picking up hitchhikers who want to take the wheel in “Don’t Let the Devil Ride”, featuring Joey Williams, with a track from their upcoming (06-06-25) release Still Shakin’ while local East Nashville string band East Nash Grass offer “Followin’ You” from their upcoming (08-22-25) album, All God’s Children. Rodney Rice reconnects old friends Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt by blending tunes from the pair of songwriters with the single mash-up of “Snowin’ on Raton/Dublin Blues”. The Brothers Comatose become homegrown heroes with the California shout-out single “Golden Grass”, the title track to their upcoming (09-12-25) release and Drunken Prayer rises to the pulpit to deliver another Cosmic Gospel with “Long Ago, Far Away” from his upcoming (06-06-25) release, Thy Burdens, delivered with assistance from Drive-By Truckers bassist, Bobby Matt Patton and fellow DBT members. Ben Gage stands at a crossroads where groove meets grit with his new single “Flyin’” as The Lone Bellow reminisce and share memories around their new single “That Table” while Po’ Ramblin’ Boys admit “I’ve Always Been a Rambler” with an ode to the traveling spirit. April N Smith sings of the unraveling of a relationship, sharing that ‘instead of heart to heart we went toe to toe’ in the single “Never Fought Harder” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday May 28, 2025.
