The Alt Root Top Ten For October 7, 2020
Picture

Do these words bother you when beginning a sentence? ’You should…’, ‘If I were you I’d…’, ‘Why don’t you…’, ‘How could you…’. Yeah, me too…so let’s start the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, October 7, 2020 with a sing-a-long mantra. Sitting in the #1 spot is Strung Like a Horse with a chorus and song title primed to deflate the power of the above phrases, “Fuck What They Think”, from the band’s debut studio album, Whoa! (10-30-20). Sam Morrow has an upcoming (10-30-20) release with Gettin’ By on Gettin’ Down, on the chart with “Round ‘N Round” joining This Frontier Needs Heroes with the title track to his upcoming (12-13-20) release, Go With the Flow, and a new single from Will Overman preceding his solo debut in 2021. New Orleans’ Bon Bon Vivant are sitting under the same thickening clouds as us all, using the black sky as a backdrop for their upcoming (12-04-20) release, Dancing in the Darkness, on the weekly Top Ten with the suggestion to sing about it in “Ship is Sinking”. Emily Duff hits the D.C. target she is aiming for on her new single “Devils and Snakes” while Steve Earle has a new full band version of “Times Like These” released for Record Store Day as a 7”. Shawn Butzin has an EP due (10-22-20) offering an advance listen with “Indigo Sky” and Jamie O’Neal is joined by John Paul White for her first album since 2014, the upcoming (10-16-20) Sometimes, on the list with “Someone’s Sometimes”. Seattle’s FM Collective take their single “In My Backyard” to a worldwide community sharing the same sentiments on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday,October 7, 2020.
