The Alt Root Top Ten Songs for November 20, 2019
Picture
Wise words, easy rhythms, and a message worth hearing is presented as a gift from The Wood Brothers who sit pretty up in the #1 spot on the weekly
Top Ten for Wednesday, November 20, 2019. “Cry Over Nothing” sings of staying strong from the upcoming (01-24-20) release, Kingdom in My Mind, from The Wood Brothers. The three voices of The Lone Bellow are like heartbeats as the band let their collective’s mind wander in “Wonder” from their upcoming (02-07-20) release, Half Moon Light. Preparing his debut (04-03-20) On the Other Side, Blanco White offers an advance listen with “Desert Days”, joining Samantha Sidley with a single to follow her successful album release earlier this year, covering Ry Cooder with his tune “Drive Like I Never Been Hurt”. Covering Tom Waits, Courtney Marie Andrews delivers “Downtown Train” from the upcoming (11-22-19) release, Come on Up to the House: Women Sing Waits. Folk Singer Bob Barrick gathers a group together as Kingdom Jasmine who offer “Stanger (On the Docks)” from their upcoming (11-29-19) release, Anyone Seen the Light?, on the chart alongside Sparky Parker with the title track from his In The Dark release, Cowboy Diplomacy from the upcoming (12-13-19) release, Burn Down the Road, and David Dondero with “Easy Chair”, from his upcoming (01-17-20) release, The Filter Bubble Blues. Old Time music traditionalist, Mike Oberst, takes a solo step from his band The Tillers for his release, Six Feet of Earth, and the cut “Gypsy Davy” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, November 20, 2019.
