Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!


I am going to heed the lesson I was taught growing up... if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.   

Except - Wear a Damn Mask!

Before we get to the Featured Friday Playlist - we have one currently non-Spotify release to mention.  My Politic - the Nashville based duo of Kaston Guffey and Nick Pankey have released a new EP that lives up to the name of their project - Short​-​Sighted People In Power: A Home Recording - is out now on bandcamp and will be on Spotify at the end of the month (and will be in our Feature Friday Playlist at that time). In the meantime, you know the drill - check out and buy the music if you dig it. 


Now onto this week's Featured Friday Playlist

Featured Friday Playlist - Songs 1-8

"Go With the Flow" by This Frontier Needs Heroes
Excited to have new music from Brad Lauretti - this is the first single and title track  from his forthcoming 5th album Go With the Flow. The album was recorded in Massachusetts and produced by Johnny Irion. 
"Jim's Dad" by Stuffy Shmitt
Today also brings the second single from the forthcoming album Stuff Happens by the inimitable Stuffy Shmitt. Jim's Dad is a look back at childhood with memories not quite out of a Norman Rockwell painting.  
"The Good Old Days" by Will Payne Harrison
Also released today is the EP The Stratford Sessions which we have been previewing for several weeks. I went back to a song we previously featured, not an intentional repeat, but it is a great song, so I do not mind 
"Mind Fever Soul Fire" by Divine Horsemen
Next up, we have another single from the forthcoming new album from Divine Horsemen. The album is called Hot Rise Of An Ice Cream Phoenix. This track really shows off the vocal interplay between Chris D. and Julie Christensen.  The song is a remake of a song originally released on a Chris D. solo album back in 1995.
"The Coal" by Tramp
I primarily know fiddle player Tramp as part of the classic Nashville bands Walk the West and Cactus Brothers. His Nashville career continued well beyond those two bands and saw him backing some incredible artists. In recent years he moved back to his native Kentucky and has worked underground in the coal mines while continuing to make music from his home studio.  This is a newly released song from him. 
"Good Luck (You're Gonna Need It)" by Becky Warren
We next have the second single from The Sick Season (Due October 23) from Becky Warren.  My respect for this incredible songwriter continues to grow. Her debut - War Surplus was a powerhouse. It would be hard to top such a debut, but Warren has just quietly made great music and carved out a place for herself in the Nashville and greater community. 
"Trig" by Purple Witch of Culver
Purple Witch of Culver is saxophonist Sarah Safaie and multi-instrumentalist and producer Evan Taylor. This is their debut single. This is wonderful music which sounds like little else being released these days.  Great stuff. 
"Stupid World (Tim Wright Remix)" by elkyn
We previously featured music from beech by 22 year old Leeds based singer-songwriter Joseph Donnelly who records under the name elkyn.  Now, he has released a new remix version of that album. A great way to close out this segment of music.
