ICYMI, we premiered the new video from Afton Wolfe this morning.  You can read about and view the video, HERE.

Today, we recap the next four songs of this week's Featured Friday Playlist (songs 5-8)

5. "When I See You Again" by Tim Easton

First up, we have a brand new single from an E2TG and East Nashville favorite Tim Easton.  It is always good to hear new music from Easton. His opening solo set for all but one week of India Ramey's residency back before the lockdowns and shutdowns were wonderful.

6. "May the Stars Fall Upon Your Door - Live" by Andrew Adkins

We mentioned this release when we premiered Adkins new video last week, this is a newly release live recording of a favorite song of mine - from his new live EP called One Evening in Brooklyn: Live!

7. "Sweet Dreams, Pt. 2: The Nightmarish Nightmare" by Carrus & Kurtz

The Carrus & Kurtz train keeps rolling with the release of the third volume of their on-going The Genius Of... series of ambient bass and pedal steel recordings.  This one is subtitled Third Eye's the Charm. 

8. "Bored Day" by Cameron Carrus

And finally, we have Cameron Carrus alone with a recent solo bass single that captures these pandemic days perfectly.

I just want to say that I hope you are all doing as well as you can be. I know many of us are far from okay. Some of us are struggling while simultaneously feeling guilty for struggling as we recognize that there are many who have it far worse than we do.  I just want to say all of that okay.

If you missed it Friday, below you can check out the current Featured Friday Playlist and below you can check out today's Music City Monday Shuffle...

  *Note: The video playlist at the bottom of the post attempts to closely approximate the shuffle I listened to on my way to work this morning. When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.


On we go,  back at it for another week of E2TG. I am hard at work developing a plan for my proposed "reboot" of E2TG scheduled for early 2020.  I have some good things in mind.

Now, let's get on with the Music City Monday shuffle!
