The Alt Root Top Ten For August 23 2023
It is funny how the folks whining about being cancelled in culture are the same ones looking to erase anything that doesn’t fit into their tiny worldview. Will Hoge noticed the same issues, teaming with Black Opry founder Holly G and the Country Any Way Collective to ask details of the Country Music gatekeepers in attempt to find out just what the rules and regs might be. Will Hoge and the Country Any Way Collective are joined by The Kentucky Gentlemen, Cheryl Deseree, Michael Allen, Carmen Dianne, and a choir made of members from the Black Opry and Shoes Off Nashville for the single, “Can I Be Country Too?, the questions included landing the track in the #1 spot for the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday August 23, 2023. Produced by Colin Linden, Alone at Sea is the upcoming (09-29-23) release from Jeff Plankenhorn, the title track landing on our list beside “The Difference” from Buffalo Nichols, from his upcoming (09-15-23) album The Fatalist and Glen Hansard with “Sure as Rain”, an audio love letter to his wife on a new cut featured on his upcoming (10-20-23) release, All That is East is West of Me Now. Intended as a lullaby, “All Through the Night” became anthemic as instruments were layered on to the new single from The Chapin Sisters while Robert Re Waller, Jr, frontman of I See Hawks in LA, claims “I’ll Never Dance Again” from his upcoming (10-20-23) release, See the Big Man Cry, and Folk duo, The Listening Party, with “Same Ol’ Problems” from their upcoming (08-25-23) release Been a Long Time Comin’ while The Grahams have a self-titled release upcoming (09-08-23), making the list with “A Good Man” as the wistful “Lonely in This Town” shares an advance listen to the upcoming (09-29-23) Dusk from Boy Named Banjo. The Howdies close out the chart with a dedication in “Buddies”, a track from the upcoming (09-29-23) greeting from the band, Howdies All Around, on the weekly Top Ten on Wednesday August 23, 2023.
