alt root top ten songs of the week
The Alt Root Top Ten For December 2, 2020
This time of year casts a magical spell when our resident pirate, Tom Mason, becomes a seasonal sprite with Under a Mistletoe Sky, steering the title track into the #1 spot on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, December 2, 2020. Songstress Miko Marks releases her first album in thirteen years in March 2021 with Our Country, and backed by The Resurrectors, is on the list this week with “Ancestors”. Taking a detour from the colored light decorations, Murder by Death drive “Holiday Road” onto the chart from their recent release, Lonesome Holiday, joining in the December celebration with The Pinx promising “I’ll Be Your Santa, Baby”, Eli Paperboy Reed with a sweet farewell in “Last Christmas”, and Red Spot Rhythm Section offering a 2020-themed sing-a-long, “Hard to Give Thanks”. Call the Spinster harmonize over “Two Hearts” from their upcoming (12-11-20) self-titled release while Danielle Miraglia offers the title track to her recent release, Bright Shining Stars and Shinyribs puts his brand on Rhiannon’s “Bitch Better Have My Money”, with a touch of The Doobie Brothers “Long Train Runnin’”, cause that the way the ‘ribs roll a mash-up. Grant-Lee Phillips has quietly beautiful E.P. in Yuletide, and offers a wish of “Take Me Back to Toyland” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday, December 2, 2020.
