alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For June 8, 2022
Time is limiting. It can save a place for a memory while confining life to a one-way street moving forward. While we can’t physically go back, Sunny Sweeney finds a glitch in the system when she is joined by Paul Cauthen for the single “A Song Can’t Fix Everything”. The tune tops the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday June 8, 2022 and will be found on the upcoming (09-23-22) Sunny Sweeney release, Married Alone, produced by Paul Cauthen and Beau Bedford (The Texas Gentlemen). The wait is over and Nikki Lane returns with Denims and Diamonds (09-23-22), produced by Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and offering an advance listen with the single “First High”. Also due a welcome home are Vandoliers who have spent three years writing their upcoming (08-23-22) sorta-self-titled release The Vandoliers, on the chart with “Before the Fall” alongside the new single from Rising Appalachia, “I Need a Forest Fire”. Facing depression and self-antagonism in song, Portland Oregon’s Connor Garvey offers “Water to the Well” as a soundtrack for Mental Health Awareness Month (June) from his upcoming (07-21-22) album Another End of a Year. Pharis and Jason Romero live in a beautiful home by a creek, making some of the world’s finest banjos. The magic of the pair’s lives is captured like a lightning bug in a bottle with their music, as heard on the single “Cannot Change It All” from the upcoming (06-17-22) Tell ‘em You Were Gold. Chicago Folk Rock on the list with Honey Cellar and their new single “Curtain” from the upcoming (06-23-22) Borders while NoCal slide-guitar badass Dennis Johnson covers the Blues classic “Going Down” from his upcoming (07-15-22) release, Revelation and Tre’ Burt reminds to “Know Your Demons”. A storyteller of the highest order, Peter Donovan helps us close out the chart with “This Better Be Good”, the title track to his recent release, and the exit for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday June 8, 2022.
