Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 8/05/2026
Tapping into summertime traditions, AJ Lee & Blue Summit borrow a hit from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with “Fishin’ in the Dark” to kick of the Top Ten for Wednesday August 5, 2026. The track is from the upcoming (09-11-26) AJ Lee & Blue Summit release Cover to Cover, and joins new music from Ruthie Foster, stomping her feet and refusing to get “Tangled” with a cut from her upcoming (08-28-26) release, Just Say Yes. Bronwyn is joined by Timbo to sing of the joys of cruising through the East Nashville on “Gallatin Road”, from her upcoming (08-14-26) Rattlin’ Bones as Fort Frances sink back into memories of “Parliament Lights” with a new single. Seasick Steve is preparing to deliver his upcoming (09-18-26) album of protest and reflection, The Last Season of America, and makes this week’s chart with “Bootstraps”. Ghost Hounds offer a “Sinners Prayer” on a track from their upcoming (08-21-26) Justified, Dirt Road Souls shout out “It’s OK, I’m Alright”, and Lindsay Lou, joined by Sarah Jarosz (mandola), Sierra Hull (mandolin), Brittany Haas (fiddle), Allison de Groot (clawhammer banjo), and Emma Rose (bass), takes pride in her life with “I’ve Endured”, an advance listen to her upcoming (08-14-26) release, Bluegrass Women. Tobacco Road bid “Baby Goodbye” on a new single while Clay Street Unit cover MGMT’s “Kids” on a tune from their upcoming (08-21-26) Live from the Road, Vol. 1 on the Top Ten for Wednesday August 5, 2026.
