The Alt Root Top Ten For October 14, 2020
Picture

It is never too late to have a happy childhood, and Dawes make a stand for embracing those moments when being a child puts happiness within reach. Dawes are in the #1 spot with “Still Feel Like a Kid” from their recently released Good Luck with Whatever for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, October 14, 2020. Joining into the new release conga line, the chart offers music from The Dillards with “Earthman” from Old Road New Again and Jessie Wagner presents the title track to her release Shoes Droppin’. Australians Angus Gill and Seasons of Change are joined by Steve Earle on “The New Old Me” from the upcoming (10-16-20) release, 3 Minute Movies. Duo Folk Uke (Amy Nelson, Cathy Guthrie) address abuse of power with their single “Small One” while Kentucky’s Josh Merritt takes aim at being raised by meth-addicted parents in “The High” from his upcoming (11-20-20) Reynolds Station. Mink’s Miracle Medicine have an upcoming (10-16-20) release Thumbs Up Angel on this week’s chart with “At the Fair”. East Nashville is represented by Amelia White with a new single, “No Sound”, tackling romance and racism while Matt Urmy debuts the single “Ghost of a Revolution” from his upcoming (01-15-21) lyrical tour-de-force South of the Sky. Carpooling for a doomed vacation, Drive-By Truckers cruise towards the exit on this week’s chart singing along with the spirits of Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee when they cover the Ramones “The KKK Took My Baby Away” on their recently released The New Ok on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, October 14, 2020.
