Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 6/19/24

Picture
The effects of depression, fear, and self-doubt are examined when The Red Clay Strays finger-point at the catch-all bad guy with “The Devil in My Ear”, a cut from their upcoming (07-26-24) Dave Cobb-produced Made by These Moments. Everly Brothers-perfect harmonies are the ammunition that The Cactus Blossoms utilizes to create ear-grabbing gems, like the heartbreak anthem “There She Goes” the duo deliver as an advance listen to this upcoming (08-30-24) release, Every Time I Think About You. India Ramey discovers the way to live is to die, explaining the deep thinking in a two-and-a-half-minute tune, “Baptized By the Blaze”, the title track from her upcoming (08-23-24) release while Justin Townes Earle’s music is gathered as a collection with All In: Unreleased & Rarities (The New West Years) (available 08-09-24), making our chart with a Fleetwood Mac cover of “Dreams”. The Chapin Sisters, joined by Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), spin an Americana waltz with the single “Wasting Your Time” as The New Quintet send out a love letter to “Mississippi John” in a cut from their upcoming (12-06-24) release Some Ya Do, Some Ya Don’t. East Nashville’s Wild Ponies trot out “Hurt Your Heart”, the first listen to their upcoming (08-02-24) album Dreamers while Joe Gruscheky & The Houserockers turn the hands counter-clockwise to find themselves “Here in ‘68” from their upcoming (07-12-24) Can’t Outrun a Memory and San Francisco Bay Area band, Jeffrey Halford & The Healers dip the single “Rhythm of the Rails” in Southern Soul. Phil Wallace closes out the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday June 19, 2024 with a warning of caution to beware of “The Beast in Me” on his recent single release.
