alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For August 3, 2022
A chance encounter on the streets of Nashville led to a song went Will Hoge turned to look at the car sitting next to him at a light. The driver, John Prine, was smiling, nodding to head to the song coming from his speakers. Will Hoge releases “John Prine’s Cadillac” as the lead single from his upcoming (08-26-22) release, Wings on My Shoes, offering the track as an advance listen in the #1 spot on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday August 3, 2022. A person stuck in a tough situation is the subject for “Gold”, the new single from The Lone Bellow, while Kelsey Waldon looks at her own life trajectory in “Tall and Mighty” from her upcoming (08-12-22) Shooter Jennings-produced release, No Regular Dog. Atlanta-based musician Herman Hitson collaborated with Jimi Hendrix and was a Psychedelic Funk pioneer in bands backing Joe Tex, Bobby Womack, Wilson Pickett, and James Brown. Bringing the funk along for his upcoming (09-23-22) Bruce Watson/Will Sexton produced Let the Gods Sing. Herman Hitson offers a sneak listen with “Ain’t No Other Way” on the chart alongside The Band Laredo, joined by Vandoliers, for their single “Gasoline” and Charles Wesley Godwin, with his new single, “Jesse”. Guitar and drums are the instrumentation for Kansas City’s Katy Guillen & The Drive as the duo offer their third advance track, “Bottom of Your Belly”, from the upcoming (08-19-22) Another One Gained as Nashville rhythm and groove ambassadors, The Lilliston Effect offer the title track from their recent release, El Bull, and Taylor Scott Band presents “Leaning Tree” from the upcoming (08-12-22) release, The Hang. Produced by Paul Cauthen and Beau Bedford (The Texas Gentlemen), Sunny Sweeney has an upcoming (09-23-22) release, Married Alone, and wraps up the chart with “Easy as Hello” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday August 3, 2022.
