Our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist concludes - with the final 4 songs... I always try to save some interesting and good music music for last...
21. "The Promise" by Howard Gladstone
Up first, we have the title track to the new album from Canadian contemperary/alternative folk artist Howard Gladstone. Gladstone assembled an ensemble of musicians from the worlds of folk, jazz, and world music to make this lovely album which is anchored by Gladstone's rich vocals. Coincidentally, the album includes a cover of Jon Brook's "There is Only Love" which showed up in our shuffle this week.
22. "Dreamworld" by Seagoth
Seagoth is the nom de plume of an 18 year old indie pop/bedroom pop singer-songwriter from the UK. This is her new single, and it is just lovely.
23. "Arcade" by Tomas Welding
Next up, we have the latest release from 22 year Tomas Welding from Iceland. The music here is alt pop, and I dig this song. Welding who suffers with Tourette Syndrome is a photographer, videographer, and graphic designer in addition to being a talented singer-songwriter.
24. "Barbie" by Kidranger
We close out this week's Playlist with a track from alternative trap artist Kidranger - who is based in Maine. He has been making beats and rapping for some time. I don't know much about him, but I dig what I have heard so far. A great way to end this week's playlist.
Tomorrow, we start all over with a brand new playlist!
In case you missed it, we premiered the new song and video from Brett Ryan Stewart earlier this morning. You can check it out HERE!
Today is release day for several albums, EPs, and singles. (Check out the Release listing below). On of the new album releases that I have been anticipating for several months is Ingenue by Kristen Englenz. We have already had the chance to listen to a few singles, but now the whole album is out in the world. In addition to be being a phenomenal songwriter and singer, Kristen is one of my favorite human beings - which makes me doubly happy for her to have this album out.
Long time readers, will recall that E2TG first connected with Englenz back in 2017 when she played our residency - as a guest of Jon Latham (who ended up hospitalized and unable to play), I became a fan that night, and it has been a joy to see her growth in the nearly 3 years since. Check out Ingenue wherever you listen to music, and more importantly, if you dig it, buy it!
Kristen Englenz also kicks off the newly updated Featured Friday playlist! Also on the playlist: that new song from Brett Ryan Stewart that we premiered this morning, plus new music from Katie Pruitt, Harry Stafford, Close Lobsters, Little Triggers, Thomas Passon, Stumbleine, FM Thread, Jeffrey James, Jesse Blake Rundle, Sluka, Gallary 47. The No Ones, Charmless i, and The Heliocentric.
Check out the playlist below, and please follow our Featured Friday Playlist. A new list is posted every Friday.
As always, we remind you to buy CDs and LPs, see your favorite band live, buy merch, etc.
Following/Saving/Downloading on Spotify is not equal to owning the music (CD, Vinyl, or download)
Well, my first show of Greetings from Nashville was this morning, and all went reasonably well. I few minor hiccups - but that is just the nature of live, community radio. If you missed it, it is now archived and you can see the playlist Here.
The second installment of Decline of Southern Civilization was last night at The 5 Spot. Due to having to get up very early this morning, I was only able to fully catch Slump Test (and Shakes vagina monologue - don't ask). Slump Test this week included our old friend Drew Kohl (who is also in Chris Watts' new band Dirt Reynolds). Plus, they brought in the Nashville Horns and another old friend Tom Schrek (playing keyboards) on a couple of songs. I am really digging this band.

Thursday Shuffle:
A short* and typically diverse playlist for a rainy Thursday Morning. *The drive from the station to work was shorter than my usual commute, plus I forgot to start the shuffle when I first left the station.
"Good Things Will Come" by Runner of the Woods (from Thirsty Valley)
Cajun influenced Nashville band with a wonderful song about reminiscing .
"Alabama Highway" by Steve Young (from Heartworn Highways - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
From the soundtrack to the definitive documentary on the early days of the "outlaw country" movement, a song by singer-songwriter Steve Young - whose best known song is "Seven Bridges Road".
"She's So Bad for You" by Flatmates (from Flatmates)
Our first listen to the forthcoming self-titled debut album by the UK indiepop pioneers. The band has released music in each decade since the 1980s, but until now (March 13th release date), they haven't made a full-length album. The video playlist features their first single which has been released. Great stuff!
"Good Friday" by Cowboy Junkies (from Live at Belly Up)
"Saphirr Bombs" by Inkraktare (from We Are Not Really Here)
We close this short set with a track from the recently released new album from Curve's Dean Garcia and Mark Walbridge.

So I started a new thing on E2TG called first impressions. It is exactly what the name implies, which is me listening to an album or song and giving you my initial impressions of what I am hearing and what ever else the music brings to mind. I will be doing this fairly often I hope and cover as much ground as I can. These will be separate posts and I will link to them on the Release Calendar next to the related entry. In case you missed the first, here is the LINK. But come back here because we have more goodies.
Other goodies
Please tune in to my WXNA radio show this Saturday (Double Shot with Joe and Sue on WXNA). Our theme will be Before They Were Stars, and we will our special tribute to our friend, hero, and one-time fellow DJ, David Olney. You can catch us Saturday morning beginning at 9:00am on 101.5FM in Nashville or at wxnafm.org If you can't catch the show live, you can check out the archives at the same website. We will have some early recordings from some E2TG favorites like Meghan Hayes, Darrin Bradbury, Adam Kurtz, and Adrian Krygowski (pre-Adrian+Meredith).
Also, please keep checking back with our NEW RELEASE calendar below. I am adding to it almost daily, and I am starting to add links to where you can pre-order, buy, hear/stream the music. I will be fine-tuning that who experience soon.
