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



We move steadily into a new week full of promise and doubt.  And here in Nashville... rain... something something rainy days and Mondays...

But Monday here at E2TG means Music City Monday... but first...


We continue our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist with songs 13-18:




13. "I am DRAGON!" by Feralman
From the recently release Chapters 35-43 - this is our second track to feature from Australian  singer-songwriter Feralman.
14. "Country Queen" by Toler Gibson
The first taste of The Days Before - the debut album by the California band featuring Kenneth Gibson and Gavin Toler. The album is due out in May. 
15. "A Hit of Love" by Larry Folk
Next up, we have a COVID response single from the forthcoming Embracing Folk EP.  Larry Folk is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose career dates back to the mid 1970s. His most recent album In the Moonlight was released back in September. 
16. "For Love" by My Name is Ian
Next up, we have the lead single from Fantastic Company which is due out in June. My Name is Ian is a Alt-Electronic band from Cardiff Wales. 

17. "Let Me Be Your Moonlight - Radio Edit" by Round Roomers

Next up, we have a release from Round Room Music who solicited poems from around the world to be transformed into music by Nashville musicians.  The poem that produced this song was written by a Baker from Belgium Jimmy Coenen and performed by Alabama native and Nashville musician Chad Wilson. The music was written Andy Dixon. 

18. "Sucker Punch" by The L.A. Maybe 
And we close with second single by this heavy rock band based in The Carolinas. 
    Featured Friday Playlist




Music City Monday Shuffle

"Leroy's Calling Me Home" by Stuffy Shmitt (from Stuff Happens - 2020)

We start off with a track from Stuffy Shmitt's highly acclaimed 2020 album Stuff Happens. It was his first album in eight years when it was released and it was one of my favorites from a jam-packed 2020 of new releases. 

"After Loving One Man in East Texas" by Raging Fire (from These Teeth Are Sharp - 2017)

The legendary Nashville band reunited in 2015 for an incredible show at Exit/In and compilation album of their 80s output.  Spurred by this, they reunited again in 2017 to release this album of new material.  Featuring Melora Zaner, John Reed, Mark Medley, Giles Reeves with the one-two punch of Joe Blanton and Jeff Cease admirably teaming up to fill the hole left by the late Michael Godsey - this reenergized and reunited line-up made a wonderful album. 

"Southern Strain" by Skylar Gregg (from Roses - 2020)

Another of our favorite 2020 releases... I am not sure if she is officially a Nashville native, but if not she has lived most of her life her and first performed at the age of six. 

"I Like That In A Man" by Jonell Mosser with John Hall (from Little Black Dress - 2019)

The one and only Jonell Mosser is a Nashville legend.  Here she teams up with John Hall (Orleans) who besides his musical career was a U.S. Congressman from the State of New York. 

"Devils Mouth" by Becca Mancari (from Good Woman - 2017)

Next up, we have a track from the debut album from singer-songwriter Becca Mancari - who go on to form Bermude Triangle with Brittany Howard and Jesse Lafser. 

"Move" by The White Animals (from 3000 Nights in Babylon - 2014)

Any discussion of early Nashville rock music that doesn't include the wildly popular White Animals is incomplete.  The band reunited in recent years and was playing shows up until the pandemic.
