Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - High Hopes Mix
Tweet #E2TG
FALL IS HERE! Not only that, there was an honest to goodness chill in the air this morning. Now, I've lived in Tennessee my whole like, so I know that we still have a few more rounds of heat to go, but today it is officially Autumn, and it feels like it so...

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Ow Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Well, we muddled through another week.... It's time for me to dive head long into creating E2TG version 3.0 (we are currently on 2.1) - I'm not sure exactly what that will entail, but it will be awesome - I bet. There may be a release 2.2 in the meantime, but maybe not... whatever, if you have ideas of what I can do to make E2TG better, now would be a good time to send them my way. I'll either use the ideas or I won't - it's the cool thing of writing your own blog... :-) But, my philosophy since day one has been to be open to whatever comes along. So wherever we go, I see my job is just to keep this thing between the lines... (only occasionally crossing)...
Whatever, the shuffle speaks... and we must listen... Jump to it if you dare...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Blue Morning Mix
Tweet #E2TG
VIDEO PLAYLIST:

“Mountains of Sorrow”
by Amos Lee from Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song (2013)
When your Monday morning, bleary-eyed commute begins with Amos Lee, you just know it's all gonna be okay - even if Amos is singing about Mountains of Sorrow. From his latest album, produced by the amazing Jay Joyce (and the first album ever recorded at Joyce's new studio in East Nashville.)
“The Morning Bird” by
Carolina Story from Home (2011)
Things keep rolling along with an appropriate song for a morning shuffle. The East Nashville connection continues with Nashville based Carolina Story with this song from their 2011 album. The married duo just released Chapter Two last month.
“Summer Bummer” by NO
ICE from Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen: Section 5 (2014)/Single (2014)
More great music from Mama Coco's.... "sad, sweet, noisy american indie rock featuring members of The Brooklyn What." This is a very young band, and this is their first single which was released in April with a full album expected by the end of the year.
“Treasure of the
Broken Land” by Chagall Guevera from Orphans of God (A Tribute to Mark Heard)
(2004)
Back in the early 90s, Chagall Guevera filmed/taped a planned live album/concert with an almost free show at the legendary 328 Performance Hall in Nashville. The place was packed and when the band began to play, it exploded with such incredible energy. Me and my buddy Rex Silo lost the people we were with, but we had a great time...
“Wichita Lineman” by
Kevin Jenkins from Step Inside (2013)
From the True Groove Label - Kevin Jenkins delivers solid smooth jazz flavored music, and this stunning take on the Jimmy Webb classic first done by Glen Campbell is a daring and awe inspiring feat.
“From the Dirt” by
The Delta Saints from Death Letter Jubilee (2012)
More swampy goodness from this Nashville band.

“Feel You Now” by The
Autumn Defense from Noise Trade Eastside Manor Session (2014)/Originally from
The Autumn Defense (2007)
A lot of Nashville connections in today's shuffle. Chicago band The Autumn Defense stopped by Nashville and recorded this treat at the fabulous Eastside Manor.

“Made to Be Blue” by
Adam Hill from Little Time (2013)
Adam Hill is from Nashville. I've featured several tracks from his Little Time album. They are all good. So is this one.

“Morning” by The Jean
Jackets from Field Theory Blues (2013)
Another appropriate song for the Morning Shuffle, and another stunningly beautiful pop song from The Jean Jackets. I really need to get caught up with their music...
“The Beatles;
Conspiracy” by HIPPIE CULT from demo (2013)
“Wash it Down (with a
Little Whiskey)” by Taylor Brown from 3 Folk Songs (2012)
Taylor Brown is a California folk singer who has appeared with (among others) Carly Simon, Levon Helm, and Dar Williams.

“Blue Dream” by Miss
Shevaughn and Yuma Wray from Lean Into the Wind (2014)
Ear to the Ground favorites, Couch by Couchwest darlings, and road warriors extraordinaire - Miss Shevaughn and Yuma Wray dropped an incredible new album in the midst of my hiatus. I've been fortunate enough to see them live a couple of times in the last year, and I am more and more impressed with their sonic prowess every time I hear them.
“Surrender to the
Storm” by Joseph Arthur from Redemption City (2012)
Taking us home on this blue Monday is a stunning 11+ minute song from Brooklyn based Joseph Arthur who more recently released an ambitious and awesome tribute to Lou Reed.

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Real Live Wire Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Okay - how many #E2TG readers watched the Grammys last night? What did you think? Were there parts you liked? Was it all utter crap? How well did it represent the state of music from October 2012 - September 2013? Seriously? Really? Was it worst than you could imagine or better than you expected?
So here's the thing, for as long as I can remember, The Grammy's have been completely out of touch with the music I like. Or at least a decade too late. That being said, there were a few parts of last nights broadcast that were okay.
Here's the thing, regardless of your opinion of the Grammys, the fact is that every night of the week in clubs and small venues all across the country, indie artists are creating memorable moments playing a huge variety of music. Many of these bands and artists do not get the hype or press that your Grammy "caliber" performers get. Nonetheless, they aren't that hard to find. Take the time, seek them out, and regularly read music blogs like Ear to the Ground (or just read Ear to the Ground if I may ever so humbly suggest.)
Anyway, we have a shuffle filled with interest music that you may or may not have heard about. Check these artists out and see what appeals to you...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Rainy Days and Mondays Mix
Tweet #E2TG
We have arrived at Monday. It's a dreary day here in Nashville, but we have the antidote. We've loaded up with a bunch of music which we have been saving up since we started our Year End Review last month. The songs added are a good combination of new music, new to us music, the return of some old friends, a first meeting with what we hope are some new friends, plus the usual collection of the classic, the weird, the obscure, and the unexpected.
Today's mix is a good cross-section of this new music - plus a couple of hold outs from the previous month's playlist.
To it.... we go... jump...
