alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For November 11, 2020
Almost there….a deep breath and “Hold On”, however you want to apply it…year end, term end, pandemic end….almost there. “Hold On” is the advice from Madison Cunningham as she borrows a tune from Tom Waits, the track from her recent E.P. release, Wednesday. Continuing with timely advice, Cordovas give ‘why can’t we all just get along’ a 2020 makeover in the line ‘I’ma be me, y’all be y’all’ with a cut from their Destiny Hotel album. Solo artist, and a Fayette alongside Charlie Faye, Akina Adderley has a new single with “Broke”, joining a new single from Larkin Poe, “In the Air Tonight”, from their upcoming (11-20-20) acoustic covers album, Kindred Spirits. Expect a new album from The Winnie Blues in 2021, until then the Australian duo (now Nashville residents) offer an anthem for women’s rights in “Coming Home to You”. Punk Folk troubadour Austin Lucas has a new album (Alive in the Hot Zone), and a track on the weekly Top Ten with “The Truth Is Supposed to Hurt”, siting with new singles from Call Me Spinster with “Here You Are” from their upcoming (12-11-20) self-titled E.P. and Jack Francis with “A Little Love”, the first in a series of singles leading up to a 2021 full album release. Otis Gibbs is a storyteller, and shares the story of a motorcycle-loving dad in “Panhead” from his recent release Hoosier National on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, November 11, 2020.
