The Alt Root Top Ten For September 21, 2022
Picture
A beautifully crafted gentle reminder comes from Courtney Marie Andrews when she offers “These Are the Good Old Days”. The tune is found on Loose Future, her upcoming (10-07-22) release, and tops the chart for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday September 21, 2022. The power we have in being ourselves is championed, and celebrated, when Caleb Caudle sings “I Don’t Fit In” on a cut from his upcoming (10-7-22) album Forsythia while Fort Frances mark time as “Seven Days Straight” on their new single. Hot Buttered Rum have released Shine All Night and present “No Reason Why” for the list joining San Francisco’s The Stone Foxes with “Time is a Killer” from their upcoming (11-18-22) release, The Other Side and Melissa Carper with “Ain’t a Day Goes By” from Ramblin’ Soul (due 11/18/22). Muddy Waters eldest son, Mud Morganfield, makes the chart with “Blues in My Shoes” from Portrait, due November 2022, as Emily Scott Robinson sings “Built on Bones” over a dark rumble for the title track to her upcoming (10-28-22) release. SoCal outlaw Ron Steven Houston recently released The Streets of West Monroe, making the list with “Just an Old Empty Bottle” alongside “Hold On”, the title track from the recent Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen release on the  weekly Top Ten for Wednesday September 21, 2022.
