alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For September 20 2023
Returning after five-years gone, we welcome back Austin’s Uncle Lucius and their release, Like It’s the Last One Left (due 12-08-23), parking in this week’s peak position with “Keep Singing Along”. For the first single from his Spring 2024 Shooter Jennings-produced release, Jesse Dayton offers “Talkin’ Company Man Blues”, sharing the song’s history as ‘I wrote ‘Talkin Company Man Blues’ during Covid after I saw on the news that Jeff Bezos made 13 billion dollars in one day. The lyrics are my deep and sincere concern about the declining economic health of the American working class’. John Popper and Jono Manson make plans “Before the Heat Rolls In”, Hello June delivers an Alt Country vow with “Honey, I Promise” from her upcoming (10/06/23) release, Artifacts, Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) sees “Red” from his upcoming (11-17-23) double-disc solo debut, Eulogy, Volume 1 & 2 as John Surge & The Haymakers invite this week’s chart aboard “Big Train” feat. Chip Kinman. Glen Hansard urges to keep on pushing with “There’s No Mountain” from his upcoming (10-20-23) All That Was East Is West of Me Now, Arielle Silver pays homage to “Rickie Lee” from her upcoming Watershed (due 10/06/23), and Wilson Banjo Co. remind “Don’t Forget About Maggie” with a new single. The Bones of JR Jones close out the list with a goodbye message of “I’ll See You in Hell” featuring Julie Odell from the upcoming (10/13/23) Slow Lightning for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday September 13, 2023.
