The Alt Root Top Ten For July 6 2022
Picture
Approaching the simple life with romanticism, Ohio-based band Caamp return with a new album, Lavender Days, and sit in the peak position for the weekly Top Ten with “Apple Tree Blues”. Fred Eaglesmith has a new single, and Fred, along with musical/life partner Tif Ginn, sing of a universal “Rough Patch” while Early Times & The High Rollers are joined by Bobby Rush on “Good Time Soul” from their recent release, Electric City. The world was taking a tumble for Katie Guillen when she penned “Discoloration”, the second track by Katie Guillen and The Drive from their upcoming (08-19-22) release, Another One Gained. Portland, Oregon’s Anna Tivel recorded her upcoming (08-19-22) release, Outsiders, almost entirely live to tape. She offers “Black Umbrella” as an advanced listen that reminds us how little we see one another, and how often the system fails for all but a few. Tucson, Arizona husband/wife duo RISO release the title track to their upcoming (07-15-22) release New Eyes as Hackensaw Boys speak of “Cages We Are Grown In” and Nick Dittmeier and The Sawdusters ask to “Save Me from Myself” with a cut from their upcoming (07-15-22) album Heavy Denim. The Local Honeys pen a beautiful letter to their Kentucky home in “Throw Me in the Thicket (When I Die)”, a cut found on their upcoming (07-15-22) self-titled release. North Carolina Cosmic Country duo Blue Cactus cover Beck with his tune “The Golden Age” as part of the upcoming Sleepy Cat Records compilation Cruisin’ on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday July 6, 2022.
