Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 11/27/24
As 2024 prepares to exit its emotional roller coaster ride and hand over the wheel to 2025, we could find no one better ambassador to raise a sonic banner and lead the way than Paul Thorn, singing a NYE mantra with “Tough Tomes Don’t Last”. The track is an advance listen to his upcoming (02-21-25) release, Life is Just a Vapor, and he is joined on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 27, 2024 by The Delines sporting “Left Hook Like Frazier”, a tale of love and heartbreak from the upcoming (03-07-25) album from the pair, Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and Amy Boone (The Damnations), Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom. If the angels had Soul they would sound like Mike Farris, who lands on the list with “Heavy on the Humble” from his upcoming (03-07-25) release, The Sound of Muscle Shoals. SoCal songstress Tawny Ellis points out the “Elephant” both in the room and on the chart as she backs the song with her dulcimer and band with a track from her upcoming Edge of the World (due 2025) as Van Vreeland (featuring current and former members of The Nude Party, Sloppy Jane, and Gift) color the chart with “Shade of Blue” from their self-titled debut. Marvin Etzioni (Lone Justice) and Willie Aron (The Third Mind) as Thee Holy Brothers kick off the holiday anthem of a single, “The Holy in Everything”, as LA’s Cosmic Americana outfit, Wyman & The Wolves, offer “Sundowner” and Swedish singer/songwriter delivers Euro Americana with “What You See is What You Get”. Memphis Soul shouter Tony Holiday is joined by Kevin Burt on the single “Twist My Fate” as Australian Rock’n’Roll band, The Vandastruts (located south of Sydney and north of Wollongong) cover the first Elvis Presley 1954 single, “That’s Alright Mama” as we exit the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 20, 2024.
