Heading into another week of Music. In other news, I will be getting my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Wednesday. Hoping for the best as far as side-effects. Had only minor arm soreness with the first. Regardless, having had COVID, I expect whatever the side-effects - they will be better than the alternative.
I am somewhat positive about seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, but I am still a bit worried that we will see another spike or two along the way, and I hope most people will do what is necessary to keep everyone safe.
A big Featured Friday Playlist this week - so we have to cover a log of ground today (songs 17-26):
17. "Everything Begins, Everything Ends" by The Gracious Losers
We open this segment with a track from the EP Six Road Ends by this Glascow-based Celtic Americana band.
18. "It All Started in the Garden" by Dick Aven
Next up. we have the title track from a new album by this multi-instrumentalist based in Franklin, Tennessee. Interestingly, this came to me from one of my favorite UK publicists/pluggers.
19. "Living in the Last Days" by Elizabeth King
Next up, we have the title track from the new debut full-length album from 78 year old Memphis based sacred soul sing Elizabeth King. This is something special.
20. "Die Young" by Soo Line Loons; Car'ma
Next up, we have another track from the forthcoming self-titled album by this Minneapolis band. We have been digging their music a log as of late.
21. "Haunt" by All Hallowed
Next, we have our third track to feature from this Dayton, Ohio based dance punk band. I have to admit that dance punk was not a term I knew before hearing this band, but it makes sense to me now, and I like it.
22. "I Love You" by Modesty Blaise
Next up, we have a track from the new album from this avant-pop band from Bristol, UK. It is our second track to featured from their just released self-titled album. The band has a colorful history that began in 1993.
23. "High Price (for Peace of Mind)" by KISS KISS BANG
Next up, we have a single from the recently released EP Hungry, High & Seeing Things by this rock band from nearby Bowling Green, Kentucky.
24. "Antelope Winnebago Club" by Departure Lounge
Next up, we have the lead track from the 4th album and first album in 19 years by this band - whose is based between southern England and right here in Nashville. The album features the four original members of the and special guest Peter Buck (R.E.M.). Dig this a lot.
25. "Let the Music Play" by Ben Gorb
Next up, we have the new single from this Manchester, UK based artist who released his debut album last May.
26. "Circles" by The Brother Brothers
And we close out this segment of music with the final pre-release single from the forth-coming Calla Lilly (April 16) from this duo from Brooklyn. Great stuff and a fine way to close out this segment.
Featured Friday Playlist
MUSIC CITY MONDAY SHUFFLE
"Child of Light" by Will Kimbrough (from Spring Break - 2020)
For the normally super-busy Will Kimbrough, the pandemic and subsequent shutdowns was a bit like Spring break, and so it is an appropriate title for his solo album recorded and released in 2020. Kimbrough is a multi-talented musician, songwriter, producer, and I have been a fan for about thirty-five years.
"Bad" by Year of October (from Trouble Comes - 2017)
Long-time E2TG favorites Year of October are up with a track from their 2017 release. Their more recent Wastelands was a favorite in 2020.
"Yellow Dotted Line #2" by Paul Nelson (from Birmingham Woman - 2020)
On of my favorite 2020 releases was singer-songwriter Paul Nelson's Birmingham Woman release.
"Normal Girl" by Bebe Buell (from Hard Love - 2021)
My overall experience in living in Nashville and meeting famous (by my definition) people has been overwhelming positive, and I would put Bebe Buell near the top of that list. Her life is worthy of movies and book. She moved to Nashville a few years back to focus on her own music after putting it on the back-burner for some time. Her latest release is a fun bit of rock and roll story-telling.
"Ashokan Farewell (Theme from Ken Burn's The Civil War)" by Los Straitjackets (from Channel Surfing - 2019)
Nashville's premier masked instrumental surf rock band set their sights on television themes for this 2019 EP.
"One Way Ticket" by Great Peacock (from Gran Pavo Real - 2018)
And finally, we go back a few years to the somewhat self-titled 2018 album by Great Peacock - whose 2020 release Forever Worse Better was one of the best of 2020.
