Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 07/02/2025

Picture
Sage advice comes as a warning in a tumultuous world from Margo Price. Addressing a worldwide population without taking sides, she offers words to ward off worry in “Don’t Let the Bastards Take You Down”. The track is from the upcoming (08-29-25) release, Hard-Headed Woman and it joins The Wood Brothers serving “Witness” from their upcoming (08-01-25) Puff of Smoke and Grace Potter making plans “Before the Sky Falls”. Husband and wife duo, The Grahams, return with a single seeking its place in the world with “Found It in Us” while The Pairs offer a sing-a-long single with “Little Light” and Brent Cobb & The Fixin’s make a suggestion with “Take Yr Mds” from their upcoming (07-11-25) release, Ain’t Rocked in a While. Digney Fignus has a new single. “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”, and he shares the background for the story citing ‘this song was inspired by that old fairy tale we all know, but the truth is, it’s never just a story. When those in power lose touch with reality—and no one speaks up—the consequences ripple across every part of life. This track is my way of holding up the mirror’. Austin songstress Betty Soo wants to “Light It Up” on a cut from her upcoming (07-18-25) release, What Do You Want from Me Now as Jesse Daniel makes a promise to himself with “My Time is Gonna Come” and Michelle Raybourn looks for a “Bad Memory” to help her get over lost love on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday July 2, 2025.
