So last night - on my way to see Jon Latham play a killer set at The 5 Spot opening for Cody Brooks, who I saw for the first time and was blown away by - I encountered an overturned car (I hope everyone was okay), a slow moving train, and a couple of trucks inexplicably parked in the middle of the road. But I made it and it was worth it. I then resisted peer pressure and went home an wrote a review of an album that is coming out tomorrow. I should have the review posted tonight or so, and I will let you know...
Tonight 90,000 people are supposed to descend upon downtown Nashville for several different events going on. My advice - stay out of downtown and instead cross the river for week one David Olney's September residency at The 5 Spot. Last years, residency was absolutely incredible (one show began with a dramatic recitation of Kubla Khan for goodness sakes!). What will happen this time around? To quote Mr. Olney, "You never know."
Today's shuffle only contains 6 songs, but man oh man...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Is That All? Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Did you watch the Grammy Awards last night? What'd you think?
Highlights for me: Jack White, Mavis Staples and others in the Levon Helm tribute, Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Boys, Bruno Mars and Sting but mostly when Damian and Ziggy Marley came on stage, The Lumineers and the Dave Brubeck tribute. Overall, I was surprisingly pleased which much of the show. I mean, you have to accept it for what it is, but compared to past shows I've endured, I thought there was a abundance of real musicians on the stage. And, the audience seemed to be supporting all the music. And Prince, just by his royal presence and his off-the-cuff statement that he loved the Goyte song which won for Record of the Year. Not the mention, the utter star-struckedness of Goyte and Kimbra.
So, while it's easy to sit here and complain about all the bands and artists who deserved to be on that stage or at least nominated... At least the Grammy's seem to be trying... right? Or do you disagree? I'd love to hear what you have to say.
We have a long shuffle, so let's get to it. After le Jump...
