We are less than 50 "Likes" away from 500! So.... Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!

So...  yeah.... it was almost 80 yesterday in Nashville - on November 4. Don't worry, though, we are sure to have freeze in the near future.  That is autumn in Nashville. I'm not sure if it is the volatile weather or allergies or what, but I have really not felt all that great this week.  But, life goes on, and so do the Ear to the Ground Morning Music Shuffles.... 

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Hail, Hail Rock and Roll Mix

Tweet #E2TG

 Greetings from Sunny and chilly Nashville, Tennessee.  We are back with a real honest to goodness music shuffle, and we've loaded up our November playlist with a stellar selection of tunes from the distant past to the up-to-the-minute present.

Star and Micey are a Memphis based alternative/folk/rock/soul - oh hell, they just make damn good music. Today we have a live acoustic version of the song Number 1 which we got from a split Noisetrade sampler the band released with Carolina Story in support of their recently completed Soul Stormin' Tour.

Here is the band's recently released record, I Can't Wait

Here's Star and Micey from SXSW 2012

Coincidentally, our good friends Skeletons in the Piano posted a recommendation on Facebook to listen to Chuck Berry, and lo and behold, look who's up in our Morning Shuffle from hours earlier...  We have School Days by the iconic Chuck Berry. It is the lead track from his debut album from 1957 called After School Session.

The always amazing Elizabeth Cook retells the biblical story of Samson and Delilah with the traditional song, If I Had My Way, I'd Tear This Building Down (which has also been recorded as Samson and Delilah most famously perhaps by The Grateful Dead).  Cook's version of the song appears on her Gospel Plow extended play which was released earlier in 2012.

Current Featured Artist, Diana Lawrence is up next with another song from her To: Aging Children album - the stunningly beautiful Where Am I Growing Up To?

 
Here's Diana with The Dishes

The always amazing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros close out this morning's shuffle with Give Me a Sign which came to us from the free Community Music Sampler - available via Amazon.
