Well, we are back after the holiday weekend. It is the final day of November, and we are preparing to head into the final month of this most strange and difficult year. While, there are encouraging signs on the horizon - everything will not get better at 12:01am on January 1. We are in the midst of a deadly new wave of the virus and everyone needs to buckle up and do their part.
Meanwhile, we have some music to present.
With a shorter Featured Friday Playlist this week, we only have three songs in today's recap... Songs 8-10:
8. "The Work is Enough" by Joe Goodkin
First up today, we have the new single from Chicago singer-songwriter and E2TG favorite Joe Goodkin. A wonderful song with a great message that any artist needs to hear.
9. "Walk On" by Gyasi
Next up, we have the new single from Nashville glam artist Gyasi. I have to admit - I have been aware of Gyasi for some time and maybe even seen them performing as part of a show or two, but I have been a little slow on the uptake, but I love this song, and I am hooked now.
10. "Father Christmas" by The Pinx
The Pinx are a rock and roll band from Atlanta. Their latest release is an EP called Christmas Singles, and our first taste is this cover of one of my favorite holiday songs- originally recorded by The Kinks. Pinx...Kinks... ah! It makes sense now.
Tomorrow, we pick up our recap at song 11...
Featured Friday Playlist
"The Shepherd" by Megan Palmer (from Rock and Roll Over 2020)
From that fantastic Rock and Roll Over compilation that finds some of our favorite songwriters singing about dogs - we have E2TG favorite Megan Palmer with her contribution.
"That's What I've Got" by Kane Welch Kaplin (from Kane Welch Kaplin 2007)
This was the second album by this super-trio of Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch, and Fats Kaplin. This song was written by Kieran Kane. Individually, these are some incredibly talented musicians and songwriters - together - they put the "Super" in super group.
"Misery With You" by Gina Sicilia and Luther Dickinson (from Love Me Madly 2020)
Next up, we have one of the best albums of the year from East Nashville and E2TG favorite Gina Sicilia - here joined by Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi All-Stars) from Sicilia's most recent album - which was produced by Luther's brother (and fellow All-Star - Cody).
"Hey Trouble" by Will Kimbrough (from I Like It Down Here 2019)
The multi-talented and always busy - Will Kimbrough found time in 2019 to record this fantastic album. This was the lead track and (I think) first single - co-written by Kimbrough and the always fantastic Rich McCulley.
"Corner Linguistics" by Lou Turner & The Styrofoam Winos (from An Ex-Pat Returns 2017)
And we close out with a track from the 2017 album by fellow WXNA DJ Lou Turner (DJ LT). Turner was a winner in this year's Nashville Scene Best of Nashville Critic's poll.
