One year ago, a major tornado ripped through Middle Tennessee - across the state, the storms caused loss of life and property damage.  The center of my music life, East Nashville, was hit hard - The Basement East was demolished (happily they have rebuilt and are having some celebrations this week) and friends suffered property damage.  My favorite hang, The 5 Spot, was not damaged but lost power for about a week.  They reopened one night and then closed again due to the pandemic - which shut down everything.   

For a certain group of musicians and music lovers in Nashville - the bad year (plus) started with the sudden passing of David Olney in January. His public memorial service was held just days before such an event would not have been possible - the service was also just a week after the tornado. 

It is strange to think how this anniversary might be different under different circumstances. The celebration at The Beast would be more massive for one things. But for those, like me, who were not directly impacted by the tornado... I don't know... I guess it feels like the tornado and the pandemic all got lumped together into this horrible thing that shut down the things we love and kept us apart from the people we love.  

I know, too, that people are still feeling the effects of the tornado a year later - compounded by the effects of the pandemic. 

I also know - those who lived through the storm have flashbacks every time a watch or warning is issued. I send love to all affected - physically and mentally. 

Featured Friday Playlist Recap continues (songs 23-28):

23. "I'm Supersonic" by Arrows to Fire

Up first in today's Featured Friday segment - we have the latest single from this indie rock band from Austin. The song was written from the P.O.V. of a Harley Davidson. 

24. "2023" by Jamecellow

Next up, we have the newest single from this singer-songwriter from Italy.  Really cool sounds, and the cyberpunk video for the song is awesome. 

25. "9:30 Girl" by The Tummies

Next up, we have the title track from the new album by this Nashville based band with an affinity for Brit-pop and early rock and roll.  A great song. 

26. "Hero" by Chicken Rich

Next, we have the lead single from the forthcoming fourth album by this rock band from Brisbane, Australia. 

27. "Post Blue Collar Blues" by Nineteen Thirteen

Next up, we have a track from MCMXIII - the debut album by this band from Dayton, Ohio.  The band, album, and song are inspired in part by the changes of their hometown from 1913-1918. This song examines the lives of the children of the working class in that post-industrial era. 

28. "It's Not Goodbye (To Those We Left Behind" by Campfire Social

 And we close with some UK indie-pop via this collective from North Wales/Chester UK. A great track to take us into tomorrow's final recap of the week.

Wednesday Morning Shuffle

"Angel from Montgomery" by Raveis Kole (from 3D Immersive- 2020)

First up in the shuffle - from the innovative CD Immersive release - we have the duo Raveis Kole doing the John Prine classic. 

"Charmed" by The Room in the Wood (from We're the Martians , Now - 2020)

Next up, a track from the now, almost 1 year old, 2nd album from this Liverpool band. 

"It's Too Easy" by The Two Tracks (from Cheers to Solitude - 2020)

Next - a track from the album recorded in Nashville and produced by Will Kimbrough by this band from Wyoming. 

"Let You In" by Soft Set (from Love and Dancing - 2020)

Next up, a September 2020 release from Toronto based artist. The release was mixed by Mark Gardener of Ride. 

"20 After 10" by  The Tummies (from 9:30 Girl - 2021)

Coincidentally, we first featured this Nashville band earlier in this post - as part of the Featured Friday recap.  This is a brief, fun/cute track which sounds like a reminder alarm you might put on your phone to remember to go to bed on time. 

"I Can't Breathe" by Steve Brosky (single - 2020)

And, we close this shuffle with a timely release from last summer  from this Pennsylvania based singer-songwriter. A great way to close out this shuffle.
