The 700th post here at Ear to the Ground arrives with another great mix of music. We have two sub-themes going in this otherwise loosely constructed collection of songs. Bells and Italian Food. Read on...
“Liberty Bell” by The
Gathering from How to Measure a Planet (6:01)
The first of two songs with bells in the shuffle today comes
from a Dutch progressive metal/alternative rock band which formed in 1999. I’ll be honest, I don’t know when I added
this to my playlist, but here it is, and it’s a atmospherically cool way to
start the morning.
How about this awesome track from Tomas Doncker’s Power of
the Trinity release. Tomas and band are
bringing their Howlin’ Wolf tribute to the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City
tomorrow night. If you are in the city, you should be there.
“Pizza N Drugs” by Darrin Bradbury from Death in my Left Ear
(2:29)
Darrin Bradbury brings us the first of two songs which
mention types of Italian food with a little ditty about spending a Sunday with
Pizza, Drugs, and someone special.
Darrin just started a weekly series with the awesome Tim Carroll at a
dive bar in East Nashville called Fran’s.
It’s every Wednesday night, and you and I really need to check it out.
“Foggy Notion” by Jane Wiedlin from American Velvet: A
Tribute to The Velvet Underground (4:07)
Go-Go Jane Wiedlin covers one of my favorite Velvet
Underground songs (read one of my favorite songs) from one of who know how many
VU tribute albums.
“Rigatoni Macaroni” by Sam Davison from Always Around (2:17)
Are you hungry yet?
New York singer/songwriter and bassist. With a fun song from his stellar
Always Around album which was released last October.
“Dream Away” by The Yugos from Life is Awesome and Then You
Live Forever (4:25)
Are a young band from Covington, Kentucky. They came to my attention via a post by Dan
Stuart (Green on Red, Danny and Dusty, solo), and when Dan talks, I listen. I’m
glad I did. Cool stuff.
“When Silence Was Golden” by David Schnaufer from
Appalachian Picking Society (3:05)
Some sweet Appalachian music from the late, great, Nashville
dulcimer player David Schnaufer.
“Jericho” by The Delta Saints from Death Letter Jubilee (4:18)
First of a couple of songs by Nashville-based
Louisiana-tinged rock band The Delta Saints.
“Bell Ringer” by Gumshen from Protronica (7:06)
Our second “bell” related song comes from this Seattle based
band.
“Albatross” by Stoney from More Than Animals (4:14)
We have featured several songs from the latest album by Austin
based Stoney.
“Blank Maps” by Cold Specks from I Predict a Graceful Expulsion (3:12)
I may be late to the game, but consider me a Cold Specks
fan. This is an awesome song, and I want
to hear more.
“Drink it Slow” by The Delta Saints from Death Letter
Jubilee (4:08)
Another great track from The Delta Saints. My music play crapped out after this, and I
had to restart the shuffle, but what a way to go.
“Long Way Home” by Miss Shevaughn and Yuma Wray from Lean
into the Wind (4:29)
A beautiful heart wrenching track from the latest album by
our friends and CXCW darlings Miss Shevaughn and Yuma Wray.
“Diamond Joe” by Guy Clark (with Verlon Thompson) from Guy
Clark (2:51)
We close things out with a song that’s been in my active
playlist for a long time. Glad it finally came up. An classic performed by a pair of legendary
Nashville songwriters.
