Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 06/4/2025
Sauntering into the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday June 4, 2025, Hayes Carll is “High”, citing that it is ‘just the right amount of high’ with a cut from his upcoming (08-08-25) release, We’re Only Human. James McMurtry is set to release his upcoming (06-20-25) album, The Black Dog and The Wandering Boy, making this week’s chart with “Sailing Away” alongside Sunny Sweeney who embraces new found freedom in “Diamonds and Divorce Decrees” with an advanced listen to the upcoming (08-01-25) release, Rhinestone Requiem. Trapper Schoepp takes aim at the over-prescribing of opioids in America with “Loaded”, a track from his upcoming (09-19-25) album Osbourne while J. Isaiah Evans and The Boss Tweed revisit The Sopranos with the show’s theme song covering Tom Waits’ “Way Down in the Hole” from their upcoming (07-11-25) release, Modern Sounds in Americana Music and Keir Byrnes & the Kettle Burners warn of high speeds and danger curves with “Train’s Off the Rails”. The Last Revel are “Solid Gone” with a single from their upcoming (07-18-25) album Gone for Good, Jackson & The Janks unanimously agree “We’re Leaving Here” with a tune from their upcoming (06-27-25) Write It Down release, and Gavin Tucker fondly recalls “Guadalope”. Golden Shoals wrap up this week’s list with a campaign-winning suggestion for a “Five Day Weekend” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday June 4, 2025.
