The Alt Root Top Ten For August 31, 2022
Picture
As their name implies, Flatland Cavalry grew up in the dry, dusty plains of West Texas. The band was headed into the Pacific Northwest for a tour in 2017 and the comfort of being surrounded by old-growth forest led them to write an ode to the environment. “Mountain Song”, the latest single from Flatland Cavalry, kicks off our list in the #1 spot and begins the countdown for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday August 24, 2022. Denim and Diamonds (09-23-22) is her upcoming release, and Nikki Lane makes the chart claiming the title of “Born Tough” alongside Tulsa’s John Fullbright singing of a “Poster Child” from his upcoming (09-30-22) release, The Liar. Soulman Lee Fields found a home at Daptone Records, offering the title track to his label debut (due 09-30-22) with “Sentimental Fool” while Fort Frances pen a tune to greet the new day in their single “Slow Dance” and SoCal’s Dustbowl Revival prepare for the release of their upcoming (10-28-22) EP Set Me Free with the cut “Be (For July)”. As they travel north for a show Larkin Poe ask Tennessee to keep “Georgia Off My Mind” from the upcoming (10-28-22) Blood Harmony as Nashville songwriter Ray Duncan offers her new single “Don’t Let It Get to You” and veteran Bluesman Ray Bonneville recalls “The Way It Was Before”, on his latest single co-produced with Will Sexton. Helping us find an exit Liquid Animal encourage to “Relinquish” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday August 31, 2022.
