The Alt Root Top Ten For November 10, 2021
Picture
More a companion piece than a sequel or series, bookending their 2003 release, Cockadoodledon’t, Legendary Shack Shakers deliver Cockadoodledeux. The recent release backs the band with Western Swing and the LSS-patented punks-at-the-wheel storylines. “Port Arthur Boys”, from the release, tops the list at #1 on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 10, 2021. Georgia’s Swamptooth take Bluegrass out into the universe when “Space Base” lands on the list from the band’s recent release, B-Flat Earth as Jason Boland and the Stragglers continue the alien invasion of the chart with “Restless Spirits” from their upcoming (12-03-21) sci-fi concept album about cowboy abductions, The Light Saw Me. The long-awaited release from multi-instrumentalists, SF Bay trio Rainbow Girls, arrives on the upcoming (12-06-21) EP, Rolling Dumpster Fire, with an advance listen on the chart when they offer “Free Wine”. Danielia Cotton electrifies her Soul for “SuperCool”, the first single from her upcoming (01-21-22) release Good Day while David Climaco Garcia reminds “Everybody Gets to Be Wrong” and Eliza Gilkyson gathers “At the Foot of the Mountain” for a listen to her upcoming (01-14-22) release, Songs from the River Wind.  On the chart with the title track to her upcoming (11-19-21) debut, Nashville’s Mabilene offers “The Other Side” joined by Cole Allen, who will release (11-12-21) his album, The Other Side, making the list with “Chasing Down the Night”. San Diego Bluesman Chickenbone Slim mixes a West Coast brew of Blues, Americana, Rockabilly, and West Coast Swing on Serve It to Me Hot, and on the chart singing of a special Wild-Eyed Woman for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 10, 2021.
