Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 10/2/24

Picture
When using the word ‘home’ for their recent single, “Find Your Way Home”, Strung Like a Horse speak to a larger universal community where we can find like-minded friends and future family ties….a tribe. From their self-produced release, Dirt, Strung Like a Horse land in the peak position for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday October 2, 2024 urging us all to “Find Your Way Home”. Medium Raw is the upcoming (01-10-25) release from Early James, and the songman offers an advance listen with “Steel Knives” on our list, sitting alongside Ronnie Baker Brooks who claims “Blues in My DNA”, the title track to his upcoming (10-11-24) Alligator Records debut. Canadian modern traditionalist Talise supports her single “Western Pine” with a clawhammer banjo and Appalachian fiddle to wrap around her heart-of-the-mountain vocals as Paul Cauthen gives equal time to “Angels & Demons” with a cut from his upcoming (10-25-24) Black on Black album and Southern Rock tsunami Tenkiller sing the joys of “Tennessee Hills”. The Infamous Stringdusters rework favorite tunes of the band on the upcoming (11-13-24) Undercover, Vol. 3, making this week’s chart covering Phish with “Possum” while dual resident (Tennessee/California) singer/songwriter Casy Frazier offers the single “Beginning Again”. Dakota 66 weigh in on life’s values with “Remember” as Austin. Texas string band Valley Flower tribute “Westfalia Van” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday October 2, 2024
