Rushing headlong into another week of music. The third episode of the new Ear to the Ground radio show will be on the air tomorrow morning at 6am and the the 44th show of my other radio show - Greetings from Nashville will be up Thursday at the same time. The latter show will be a special for Women's History Month and International Women's Day which is today.
Meanwhile, below - we have our weekly Music City Monday Shuffle and we continue our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist - which you can stream below. (If you are on Spotify and so inclined - give us a "Follow").
We resume our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist with songs numbered 11-16:
11. "Mixed Signals" by Jack Silverman
Starting things off today is the first single from the forthcoming new album by East Nashville guitar guru Jack Silverman. I have been fortunate enough to see Silverman live a few times, and I can tell you even for a non-guitarist - he is impressive. I always love great instrumental music.
12. "NO NAME" by Young Robot
I came across this Nashville band on Instagram, and I was curious. This is their latest single, and I was suitably impressed. Cool stuff.
13. "Every Night I Burn Another Honky Tonk Down" by Dallas Moore
Next up, we have the lead single from The Rain - which is due out in April from this Outlaw singer-songwriter. It follows his 2019 release and was recorded during a time when he hoped to be playing over 300 shows for the tenth year in a row. This song is a celebration of live music which hits at a good time.
14. "Pay Grade" by Carl Anderson
The last couple of songs we have featured from Charlottesville, VA native and East Nashville favorite Carl Anderson have been covers. This is a track from"Taking Off & Landing - his new EP of original material. Great stuff.
15. "Sail on, My Friend" by Todd Snider
We could not let new Todd Snider music pass without mention. This first taste from his new album is a tribute to those he (and we) have lost. It is lovely and touching in a way that only Todd Snider can do. The first time, I met Todd Snider - he insisted that we had met before - and I didn't argue. Sue and I used his cover of "Enjoy Yourself" as our Outro song for four years on Double Shot. Honestly, without him (and folks like Mac Hill, Mike Grimes, and other pioneers) the East Nashville community that took me in during my darkest days would likely not have existed.
16. "Melt Lock- Count- down" by Kettleflower
And we close with the lead single from the new EP from Kettleflower - which a project that features long time E2TG favorite Patrick Rickelton (aka Prattle, On Rick).
