I need to report on last night's music. Scott Miller at The 5 Spot was so far beyond amazing. He was accompanied by Bryn Davies on upright bass. Miller was a member of the Knoxville band, The V-Roys. He (fairly) recently moved to Virginia to help tend to his parents and their cattle. His songs are moving and rocking and touching. His stage presence is humorous. Bryn Davies is brilliant!
After that I walked over to The Basement East for the second in a series of Ryan Adams album tributes by some East Nashville artists. It was a really entertaining show. Once again, Jon Latham lead the band (which included Andrew Leheay, Rob Crowell (Deertick) and others) and introduced the guest (Allen Thompson, Peyton Parker, Sean Quinn, Carolina Story, Brian Ritchey, and many more). Plus some cool folks did some non-album R.A. songs before the album part of the show including the always awesome Don Gallardo. Thanks to a particular drummer friend for the ride back to my car.
Just before I headed to work this morning, I received word that a friend, who I have known for almost my entire life, had passed away. This was heavy on my mind as I drove and walked to work and listened to the following songs... It is throwback Thursday.

Welcome to the working week. This weekend, Nashville celebrated the birth of a brand new community radio station as WXNA-LP went on the air at 101.5FM with a live stream going out via the web at WXNAfm.org and via the Tunein App. All weekend long, the station previewed many of the great original programming, and as of this morning, the shows have begun to air. If you haven't done so, check out the station. It is awesome! A huge shout out to the amazing folks who built the station from scratch. Salute!
The show I am co-hosting with Sue Havlish (Double Shot with Joe and Sue) had our preview yesterday, and it was a blast. We take to the airwaves for our first regular show on Saturday June 11 at 11a,m. in the Central Time Zone. Our first theme will be A Tale of Two Nashvilles (Altman and ABC).
Last night, I took in the Guy Clark tribute at The Basement (original version), and it was a blast. Reckless Johnny Wales, Carl Anderson, Darrin Bradbury plus hosts Todd Henkin and Charlie Treat and so many more did a great job.
It's Monday and that means we spin songs from the Music City Monday playlist... let's see what came up today.

E2TG - Video Premiere: Jon Latham (Live at Fort Dakota) - "LA Freeway" (Guy Clark Cover)

Hey! It is Tuesday night, I have been catching up on laundry and trying to catch up on e-mail. My inbox has been flooded with a ton of great music - some of which you will be hearing here on Ear to the Ground, so of which will be coming your way soon.
In the midst of the excitement of scrolling through pages of unopened e-mail (sorry), I got a call from the 2015 E2TG Artist of the Year, Jon Latham. That is how he is tagged in my phone by the way... "2015 E2TG Artist of the Year, Jon Latham". He filled me in on a project he has in the works.
Returning to Fort Dakota Studio, Jon has recorded five solo acoustic songs all of which were also recorded on video. The recordings were a reunion of sorts with Fort Dakota's mastermind, Josh Morris who produced Jon's album, Real Bad News.
Look for an EP of those sessions coming your way soon, in the meantime, I am extremely honored to have the opportunity to present the very first video from that session.
When Jon and I talk, we often talk about music. As I have said before, Jon is extremely knowledgeable about a pretty wide variety of music genres - including some bands that I would not expect someone his age to know (thank you Michael Latham).
Inevitably, we talk about songwriters. Names like John Prine, Steve Earle, and Guy Clark come up quite often. We have discussed the importance of Guy Clark to much of the best music being played in songwriter rounds around this fair city.
"LA Freeway" has long been one of my favorite Guy Clark songs, and I really like Jon's cover of that song here - recorded at Fort Dakota.
A little trivia: Steve Earle sang background vocals on Guy Clark's recording of this song from his debut album, Old No. 1. Steve Earle, as you may recall, is prominently referenced in the opening seconds of Real Bad News.
Without any further ado: Here is "LA Freeway" by Jon Latham

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - In My Room Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
Good morning. It was a cold one here in Nashville.
I am back after a day off and still recovering from my 8 Day Birthday Week. I had a total blast, and I am so grateful for everyone who helped me ring in the next 50 years of my life. In all the tally was: 8 Nights, 7 different venues, between 25-30 acts (depends on how you count them), tons of friends seen, and a bunch of fun had.
Since I last reported: Friday night, I visited one of my regular haunts and one of the best weekly events in Nashville - Tim Carroll's Rock and Roll Happy Hour at The 5 Spot. Great time. I was beat after that and I had to call it a night early.
Saturday: The Country on the west side. For the Zachariah Red CD Release show with Jon Latham opening with Neo Tundra Cowboy and Patrick Kinsley and a Fistful of Dollars also on the bill. Great performances all around and a wonderful time to be had.
Sunday: Acme Feed and Seed to see Richie Owens and the Farm Bureau. The band have never sounded better and the atmosphere was pure party - a great way to wrap up the week!
Whew! With the birthday week over, I enjoyed a day off work, did a pilot/audition tape with Sue Havlish for WXNA (Nashville new community radio station). Then, I made my way to The Basement East to catch Megan Palmer, Michaela Anne, and Darrin Bradbury for Week 3 of Darrin's residency! I stuck around to hear Darrin and band kick off the David Bowie tribute in fine fashion. The Basement East was jam packed and the music was kicking, but my 9 nights out caught up with me and I had to bail fairly early.
On to the chilly morning shuffle filled with some classic and newer tunes.

Full-Ride Friday Music Shuffle - Covered in Dust Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I didn't sleep particularly well last night, and so I knew I would need some cool tunes to make it through the morning commute. With that in mind, I decided to run my usual shuffle for the full ride into work, and thus was born a new feature* at Ear to the Ground called Full-Ride Friday (hashtag #frf - patent pending** - void where prohibited) **there is not patent pending...
* Bloggers Note: I sure hope no one notices that about 90% of the time I announce I new feature, it never appears again. If they notice, they may realize that I'm just making this up as I go around and thus may figure out that I'm not a real music blogger.
Anyway, I hit shuffle and 21 songs later, I made to my desk to begin my day... Go past the jump to experience the first (and maybe last) ever Full-Ride Friday Shuffle!

Time marches on.... we have a ton of cool tunes and not as much time as I would like...
First off - here is an updated version of yesterday's "Retreat" Mix video playlist - we received a link for the New Victorians to the video for "Letting Go" so we substituted that for the song we originally included:
Jump to the Shuffle!

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Adaptation Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Here at E2TG we are all about adapting to circumstances beyond our control. Most of our best ideas were born out of necessity...
With my earphones still on the fritz (although I'm suspecting it may be the earphone jack - which would suck since I'm just 10 months or so into a two year contract...), I decided to make some changes.
The first part of today's mix came from a drive across town I took last night while the second part is from this morning's commute. It all washes out, and we have 12 great songs for your enjoyment and edutainment.
