It is Friday, and that means a brand new Featured Friday Playlist.  Please check it out, and if you like give it a follow.  As always, I encourage you to support musicians, songwriters, and independent labels whenever and however you are able. 

We highlight the first ten songs of the Playlist below, but the whole playlist is an interesting mix of a lot of different styles of music.  

Many of these songs will be featured on next Tuesday's Ear to the Ground radio show.

And, just like that it is time for another Featured Friday Playlist.  This is a short but sweet one.  So, please check it out and follow if you are so inclinded.

It seems like to a good time to post my regular disclaimer.

I like the Playlist feature of Spotify, and I like having access to so much great music - as I have downsized in my life things like that are handy. 

But, and it's a big but, Spotify is abysmal when it comes to fairly compensating artists. So, yes, please check out the Playlist, AND if you hear an artist/album/song you like - go purchase it or go support the artist in some other way - buy, merch, contribute to a fundraiser for an album, see a show (and tip).

 By way of a Featured Friday Bonus Track, we have the previously unreleased solo demo of the title track to East Nashville poet-laureate (I believe it is an unofficial title, but damn well should be official) Kevin Gordon's landmark Down to the Well album. The album version of this track features the one and only Lucinda Williams.  Here is the song, stripped down to his majesty.  The whole album is available exclusively on Bandcamp - which makes it a good time to remind you that Bandcamp is waiving revenue sharing today, so that all purchases benefit the artists.  You can access the Bandcamp page for the album via the embedded player below. 

 

Another Friday, means a brand new Featured Friday Playlist.  This week's list is most excellent, and it about the same length as last week. Recap the first 8 songs below.

Wild Wednesday Morning Shuffle - The Art of Drifting Mix

Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!

It's getting real and it's getting really close!  The Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown IV is just a couple of days away.  Make you plans.  The 5 Spot in East Nashville is one of my favorite places in town, and it will be a great place to get away from all of madness going on around Nashville this weekend. You will find two nights of original music from 13 great acts, a silent auction, a great cause (The Ben Eyestone Fund of Music Health Alliance), a community canvas project, and much more.   It all kicks off at 9:00pm on Friday April 26.


Now, for today's Wild Wednesday Shuffle - I decided to use our "Trending"/new music playlist - just to make some more room in that playlist - because we have so much great music. Plus, I was off work last Friday and I likely won't be doing a regular shuffle this Friday. Still, as I said last week, thanks to the awesome variety of music I have been receiving, our this shuffle is pretty darn "wild".

Let's go!

It is just over two weeks until the Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown IV (April 26 and 27) at The 5 Spot.  I am excited to officially announce that I will be acting as Co-MC for this mini-festival.  Great music, beer specials, a silent auction, a community canvas art project, and so much more. This is a don't miss event!

I am working on getting a ton of new music added to my playlist - I may have to move some songs off of  "Trending" playlist. That's never an easy decision for me to make.

Anyway, let's dive right into to today's shuffle because time is tight!

We actually got some sunshine this morning.  It didn't really last long, but it was glorious. A couple of rainy days on the horizon.

Here we go!  It's Thursday.  Let's see what is trending on E2TG!
