Heading into another week and soon another month. The news is heavy. Music remains a refuge for me, and I hope for you too. Enjoy! Be part of the solution.
Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 2 - the adventure continues) (songs 13-16):
13. "Weather Vane" by Emperor of Ice Cream
Irish band Emperor of Ice Cream - recently released their long-shelved debut album nearly 30 years after forming. This is the follow-up single, and my introduction to the band. I dig it.
14. "Crazy Game of Phobias" by Jata
Next up, we have the title track from the forthcoming debut EP by this synth-loving pop artist from Italy.
15. "Opposite Faces" by Thadeus Gonzalez
Next up, we have the title track from the recently released third album by this singer-songwriter from Oakland,California.
16. "Liar" by Mary Jennings
And we close this section of music with another track from the recent Matriarch album by Nashville's Mary Jennings.
Featured Friday Playlist
"All Said and Done" by Foster And Lloyd (from Version of the Truth - Expanded Edition - 1990)
I was a fan of Bill Lloyd before the country chart success of his duo with Radney Foster. This is a track from their third album. The song was co-written by Vince Gill (according to wikipedia).
"Sludge of the Sugar Plum Fairy" by Aqua Velvet (from Home for the Holidays - 2020)
Christmas in late August? Somehow, this one seems less Christmasy than much of the album. Aqua Velvet springs from the fertile mind of Jim Hoke and features a large band of top Nashville talent - including Kristi Rose on the songs that have vocals. When not doing Christmas stuff, Aqua Velvet specializes in unique and original arrangements of classic country songs.
"Bad News" by J. Marco (from Days of Surrender - 2017)
While many Nashville singer-songwriters tend to be of the folk/country/roots variety. J. Marco has also been a solid rock singer-songwriter. This goes back to his 2017 album.
"Brickyard Blues" by A.J. Croce (from By Request - 2021)
From singer-songwriter A.J. Croce's covers album from earlier this year, we have his take on the Allen Toussaint penned song. Three Dog Night released perhaps the best known version of the song in 1974.
"Weeds Like Us" by Julie Christensen (from Weeds Like Us - 2012)
E2TG favorite Julie Christensen has recently been back on my minds from her work on the new Divine Horsemen album. This is from one of her pre-Nashville solo albums.
"Black Angel" by Bebe Buell (from Hard Love - 2021)
The iconic Bebe Buell closes us out today with a track from her recent album - which I believe is her second since moving to Nashville.
