alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For October 20, 2021
Celebrity culture gets a singalong from Shovels & Rope as the duo tribute the ghost of James Dean with “Domino”. The track from the upcoming (02-18-22) release Manticore hears the movie icon wondering why America still clings to tightly to his legend. Continuing the husband/wife band model, following Shovels & Rope on the chart are Air Cool Jenny, SoCal-based couple Helen Rose and Kramer Sanguinetti, with “Pissin’ on the Moon” from the debut EP First Flight. Our resident pirate Tom Mason lands to take on the role of musical director and songwriter for a Nashville production of 12th Night. With songs inspired by the William Shakespeare play, Tom Mason is on the list with “The Wind and The Rain” from What You Will: Songs Inspired by William Shakespeare’s 12th Night. Adia Victoria journeys through a troubled South on her album A Southern Gothic, singing “Magnolia Blues” for our list alongside “Towards the Fray”, an advance listen (and title track) to the upcoming (02-18-21) release from The Infamous Stringdusters. New Zealand’s Jenny Mitchell joins with fellow Down Under artist Tami Neilson for the single “Trouble Finds a Girl” while Evan Bartels steers “El Camino” on the chart from his release, Lonesome. European Americana comes on the list from Heigh Chief. with the title track from their release Midnight Oil as The Dead South bring the darkness into “You Are My Sunshine” from their upcoming (03-04-22) Easy Listening for Jerks, Vol 1&2. Stiff-kneed walking off this week’s list, TK & the Holy Know-Nothings decorate the chart for Halloween with “Frankenstein” from their recently released The Incredible Heat Machine on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday October 20, 2021.
