    Featured Friday Playlist



Featureed Friday Playlist (Songs 1-9):

"Thunder Perfect Mind" by Andrew Adkins
E2TG Favorite Andrew Adkins' long-awaited new album The Echoist is out today.  One of Nashville best and most original voices. 
"Fighting" by Amelia White
Another new single from long-time East Nashville and E2TG favorite Amelia White. The song is a plea for peace in a time of strife - looking at the consequences of anger and bitterness. This song was produced by Dave Coleman who plays on the track along with Chris Benelli and Molly Thomas. 
"Walls" by Slowforce (Megan Palmer + Bob Lewis)
Megan Palmer and Bob Lewis joined forces some time ago - in 2019  for sure - backing each other at shows. They officially named this new partnership Slowforce earlier this year, and this is the first single. These are two of my favorite songwriters and performers, and it great to hear them together in a recording.
"Good God" by LadyCouch
Next up, the first of two new singles from this red hot East Nashville band led by Allen Thomspson and Keshia Bailey who are joined by a flexible cast of some of this town's best musicians which since this is Nashville - that means some of the best musicians period.
"Everything Stops" by The Gypsy West
We first featured The Gypsy West in 2012 when they were based in Brooklyn and releasing a series of EPs about a dystopian society.  Much has changed in the intervening eight years - front man/band leader Alex Giorgetti moved to the Boston area, had a baby, and we are now actually living in a dystopian society. I am excited that The Gypsy West is back - with a new line-up behind Giorgetti and a brand new single. 
"Who Knows" by Josh Halper
Josh Halper is a Nashville musician (part of the band Western Medication) and DJ (he co-hosts Hot Fudge Tuesdays on WXNA). On the radio, he and his cohost DJ Hotcar are often funny and sardonic if not downright silly - but on this first single from his forthcoming solo album - Halper delivers a really affecting song. Cannot wait to hear more. 
"We Can Drive" by Bill Lloyd
Bill Lloyd has been a vital part of the Nashville music community for longer than I have been a fan of Nashville music. His musical journey has paired him with some of the biggest names in music and found him crossing genres with ease. The constant of everything he does has been his dedication to the song. This is a track from a Pandemic 3-PAK of new songs. This one was co-written with Julian Dawson.  It is always great to hear new music from Bill Lloyd.
"Remember When" by Jon Worthy
Jon Worthy has been among the busiest artists during this pandemic year - he has released several singles, and this is the latest. It is the second full-band song that Worthy has produced himself . It is a look back at what we used to call normal. 
"Jack of Fools" by Spencer Cullum
And finally for today, we have a track from the new solo album by Spencer Cullum Jr. The first time I saw Cullum play was when he was backing Caitlin Rose at a Record Store Day event at Grimeys. Jeremy Fetzer was also part of that band, and Cullum and Fetzer would go on to form the instrumental duo Steelism shortly after that - I saw them play at Grimey's - I believe for an Americanarama show.  Now, Cullum has released a solo album which shows off his love of psychedelic folk rock. A great way to end this segment of music.
