alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For May 31, 2023
On her new single Margo Price takes a stand when she is joined by Mavis Staples and Aida Victoria as they “Fight to Make It” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday May 31, 2023. The cut lands in the #1 spot for both song and message, Margo Price feeling that ‘every day I see more of our rights stripped away in America. The right to reproductive health in this country has become a luxury for the wealthy. The United States has a higher maternal death rate than any other developed country. Black women in particular experience maternal mortality at a rate two to three times higher than white women. Tennessee now has stricter abortion laws than the Taliban. This should not be a political issue, or a religious issue, this is a human rights issue’. Eliza Gilkyson offers Home as her upcoming (06-23-23) release, on the chart with “Safety Zone” while Tommy Prine chronicles his on life as the son of an American treasure (John Prine) with “Cash Carter Hill” from the Ruston Kelly-produced This Far South (due 06-23-23). The Pinkerton Raid deliver a new single, “Wiggins Special (Freedom Ain’t Free)”, and Amanda Stewart offers “Window” from her upcoming (07-28-23) album Venom, Afton Wolfe belts out “Cry”. Anne McCue & The Cubists talk of “The Loneliest Saturday Night” while Tanya Tucker is joined by Brandi Carlie for “Breakfast in Birmingham” (written by Brandi and Bernie Taupin) on a tune from her upcoming (06-02-23) release, Sweet Western Sound. Adeem the Arist has a new single, “I C U” while Josh Abbott Band help us exit the chart with their new single, “Dad and His Truck”, on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday May 31, 2023.
