ICYMI - E2TG premiered a new song by Douglas/Warren earlier today - check it out!
Also, my review of Strange Majik's Raised on Rock 'N' Roll is up now at No Depression.
In November 2013, my friend David Horton sent me a message to let me know that Darrin Bradbury (whose previous band Big Wilson River, I had written about in 2012) was going to be moving to Nashville and to keep an eye out for him. Darrin started kicking major league ass in Nashville, and I named him my Artist of the Year for 2014. Today, Darrin Bradbury was named one of 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know by Rolling Stone Country. I could not be more proud.
Tonight I am recommending: RB Morris with Jon Byrd at The 5 Spot to kick off Morris' month-long residency. And after that, Drew Kohl will be ecebrating the one year anniversary of his EP, Sweetheart at The Country with other cook folks like Tayor Alexander and Kiely Schlesinger.
Over the course of these last five years, I have had a blast creating playlists that represent the broad spectrum of my musical tastes and interests, and then letting the shuffle function work its magic. Some folks may think that traditional bluegrass segueing into death metal makes any sense. But, I disagree.. every odd combination and awkward transition is to my mind a reflection of the fabric of this life....
The Wild Wednesday shuffle is meant to be a celebration of that weird awkwardness... enjoy!
