Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 6/17/2026
‘And the birds don’t sing like they mean it anymore’. The line is chilling, and timely, as Boo Ray offers his two cents worth of Country Wisdom in the #1 spot on the Top Ten for Wednesday June 17, 2026. The story is firmly attached to the adage that you have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. American Aquarium point to the story being passed round and round down the corridors of history with the reminder “History Repeats Itself” on a cut from upcoming (06-26-26), Shooter Jennings-produced, release New Ways to Lose. San Francisco Bay Area Rock’n’Soul hits the chart with a new single from The Soul Bros, “With You Every Day is a Carnival”, as Charlie Marie tells the tale of the “Buffalo” and Sturgill Simpson aka Johnny Blue Skies urges “Don’t Let Go”. Environmental geologist Benny Bleu sings a “Serenity Song” from his recently released album When I Am a Fossil while Chris O’Leary finds hope in “Bad Decisions” from his upcoming (07-10-26) album, Blue Collar, and Dallas Alexander weighs in on “Small Town Livin’” with a new single. Hypnotic Blues trio, Lonesome Shack, play out the steps for “The Dance” while The Black Crowes are joined by Whiskey Myers when the two Southern Rock powerhouses partner on the Rock’n’Roll blast of The Rolling Stones “Star Star” for a joint single release in the Top Ten for Wednesday June 17, 2026
