The Alt Root Top Ten For September 9, 2020
Picture

Collecting tracks from his post-Led Zeppelin years, Robert Plant puts together an anthology with the upcoming (10-02-20) Digging Deep, topping this week’s chart alongside Patty Griffin as the two spar off in “Too Much Alike”. Canadians Roots Rockers Elliott BROOD have an upcoming (09-18-20) album Keeper, offering an advance listen with “Bird Dog”, joining Sugaray Rayford with a new smokey-grooved single, “Homemade Disaster”. Our world is spinning quicker as we sit in place and Emily Barker offers an overview with her new release, A Dark Murmuration of Words, seeking answers with “When the Stars Cannot Be Found”. Marking a teenager’s journey of self-discovery, the film Once Upon a Riverfeatures a new track from Rodney Crowell on the soundtrack, presenting “The Damage” on the weekly list. Kentucky-based songman Justin Wells offers a different phase for the shared human condition with his recent release, The United State, advising “No Time for a Broken Heart” on the chart. Jim White counts “The Sum of What We’ve Been” from his upcoming (10-30-20) release, Misfit’s Jubilee, while Michael C. Duguay is adding time in “Twenty-Five to Life” from his upcoming (09-24-20), The Winter of Our Discotheque. Texas-based Garrett Owen watches love unravel on a six-string blacktop with “No One Can Save You” from his upcoming (09-18-20) release, Quiet Lives, on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, September 9, 2020.
