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).

The archive from last Thursday's Greetings from Nashville is finally up on the archive. Check it out HERE.
This afternoon, tune into WXNA at 5pm, I will be talking to Mary Sack, Afton Wolfe, and Tom Mason about the GET Behind The MULE: The 16th Annual Tom Waits Tribute & Benefit coming up on Saturday at The 5 Spot. We will be talking Tom Waits, 2nd Harvest, the show, and spinning relevant songs for the occasion. I don't do any interviews so this should be interesting.

E2TG 4/13/2020 - Music City Monday - Oh Deep Water Mix (Bluebird Remix)
Tweet #E2TG
Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
And, I am back. I am fortunate to still be working my day job, so my typical weekday daytime is pretty much the same as before - except for the fact that I am working from home now - which come to think of it is quite different than before...
My weekends are much different and to be honest, I haven't not been one of those hyper-productive people during this time. For me, often just getting through and getting by is all I can achieve. I have been cooking more than before.
Anyway, it is Monday which is the day we dig into my massive Music City Monday playlist and see what comes up. It is always interesting how the random shuffles I do turn out. I am not an expert on randomness or on the particular methods used by programs to simulate randomness. I do know that patterns sometimes seem to emerge from random occurrences. Random shuffle have been a big part of E2TG since before the beginning actually. Sometimes, I wish some newer song would come up or feel that a particular album or artists comes up too much or not enough, but overall, I believe in the concept of letting the random shuffle determine the playlist for the day....

E2TG 3/11/2020 - More about an Artist - It's a Miracle Mix (Day Like This Remix)
Tweet #E2TG
Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
Continued from yesterday:
I promised more about the David Olney Celebration of Life because I felt like I had to end yesterday's post abruptly due to time constraints, but to be honest, I'm not sure what else there is to say. There was definitely some extra shadows hanging over the night - with the effects of the previous week's tornado and the news of the passing of songwriter Eric Taylor coming just before the event - along with the Corona virus concerns...
The performances were all moving and the speakers were excellent. It struck me that David has a way of really connecting with people - this despite his sometimes aloof nature. (At least that is my take). The first dozen or so times I met David, we were sure what to say to each other. (not an unusal state for me). When he started with WXNA, he would always talk to me about the radio station.
Eventually, I was fortunate enough to have him perform at one of my E2TG Anniversary Residencies and then later he read some sonnets and haiku at a reading event, I helped put together. The David Olney I experienced in those moments were echoed back to me again and in through the speakers. The brilliance mixed with a child-like wonder mixed with a weary cynicism mixed with a genuine love of music, art, and writing and the people who create those things.
I loved hearing R.B. Morris read some of Olney's haiku and then perform one of David's songs a cappella. I loved Brock Zeman's song he wrote for David and the accompanying story. I loved the version of The Women Across the River (I temporarily can't remember the name of the performers and my program is at home). Anne McCue's This Side or the Other was breath-taking. Malcom Holcombe's fiery performance of Deeper Well... and on and on..
It was most of all - the people - people united in our love and admiration for David Olney. Mary Sack talked about the first time she saw David play, and I do think every person in that room could remember the first time they saw David Olney perform (it was a show at The 5 Spot for me), and how everything changed from that point on.

Wednesday Morning Shuffle:
We used to call Wednesday "Wild Wednesday" at E2TG. We don't anymore, but that's not say that we don't get wild on Wednesdays (or any day)
"It's a Miracle" by George Felton (from Just as Long as It's Country)
I miss seeing George at The 5 Spot, but I am glad he got me his CD recorded several years back.
"Tell Me Something Someone" by Tommy Jones and the Troubadours (from The Truth Will Out)
"Fight at the End" by Chris J. Connolly (from Moving Maps)
We have been featuring this album for a couple of years, and this is the final track... side note, I finally learned to spell Connolly right...
"I've Been Away Too Long" by FADES (from FADES EP)
A UK band which seems to be no more. I could not find any videos or any internet presence. The only thing I could find was the e-mail submission from 2016. (No video or substitute in the playlist for this one).
"A Day Like This (Etta Bee)" by Nathan Bell (from Er Gwaetha Pawb a Phopeth)
From a live recording made during a tour of Wales.
"Shovelheads" by Shriekback (from Why Anything? Why This?)
"The Moon Was" by Julie Christensen (from Soul Driver)
One of Christensen's pre-Nashville albums. What a voice.
"More" by Lori Kelley (from More)
No video of this song but a different song substituted. Lori Kelley is a Nashville singer-songwriter. We have her latest album and have been featuring it of late.
"Dream Away" by Ryan Dillaha (from Closer to Better)
First listen to an album by Michigan based singer-songwriter who leads the band The Miracle Men.
"Sad Baby Wolf" by Sad Baby Wolf (from Electric Sounds)
A short-lived band - which we featured early on here at E2TG - formed from former members of The Shins. A different song by this band in the video playlist.

E2TG 1/13/2020 - Music City Monday and More - Side of The Road Mix (Side of the Road Remix)
Tweet #E2TG
Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
I hope everyone had a good weekend. We are back, and today mark's the return of Music City Monday. To refresh your memory. This is a massive, every expanding playlist of new and not-so-new songs by artists with a connection to Nashville (and occasionally artist who I thought had a connection to Nashville but didn't - oops!). The Shuffle is below.
Some notes about this new incarnation of E2TG:
1. Show listings: I have attempted, in the past, to compile a gig guide/concert calendar, whatever, and found it was too daunting a task. Typically, I highlight upcoming events that are on my mind. If you want an event featured, please e-mail me at e2tgmusic@gmail.com and I will do what I can. Provide as much information as you can (Who, what, when, where, how much, what time etc.) and a graphic if you have one.
2. Featured Friday: A Spotify Playlist that refreshes every week - updates usually on Friday. Please follow. Basically, a compilation of new and recently released music that has caught my attention.
3. Release listing: This is a non-comprehensive list of recent, current, and upcoming releases (singles, EPs, and LPs). If your release is not listed (even I have know you very well) e-mail me at e2tgmusic@gmail.com with the name and release date. If you have a preferred link - send me that.
I compiled the list from recent e-mails and then have been adding releases as they occur to me. I plan to add links (if available) soon. Eventually, I will start rotating off the older "recent" releases, but right now, I am catching up from the end of the year. I also will likely started adding some sort of commentary/mini-review (but not really)/information about some of the releases.
Events of Note:
Tonight, Madison Guild Monday at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge will be hosted by Maynard and the Musties and featuring Javi Jones (of The Big Dumb), Steve Knudson, Val Levine, Paisley Fields, Luella, and more.
Tomorrow night is my birthday, and I will celebrating at The 5 Spot. The early show is week two of the India Ramey Residency with Tim Easton, Wild Ponies, and a Special Surprise Guest. $2 Tuesday follows with Anana Kaye, Derek Hoke and ? (but it is always a wonderful lineup). Come hang with me if you are in town.

We move on into the second half of 2019. It is Monday and so we celebrate the music of Nashville with our weekly Music City Monday Shuffle. Music from Nashville, from people who now live in Nashville (even if they lived somewhere else when the music was made), and people who used to live in Nashville. It is Music City Monday if I say it is!

Music City Monday is always a favorite day of the week for me. It is a great combination of new and older music that is all (somehow) connected to Music City USA (aka Nashville, Tennessee)
Let's just jump right in!

It is time for another Music City Monday! What I love about this particular weekly shuffle is that it serves as a reminder of just how much awesome music has and does emanate from Nashville. It is always a cool combination of friends and legends (and legends who have become friends and friends who are becoming legends).
Another reminder of how cool Nashville is: The WXNA Spring Pledge Drive just finished up, and we thanks to the generous support of the community, we will continue to bring great radio to Nashville.
Another reminder: I took my daughter to Dee's yesterday, we caught the end of Jon Worthy and the Bends playing a very early show (Adelai loves loud rock and roll!) and then we stuck around for a good portion of the Sunday Brunch hosted by Megan Palmer - with Bob Lewis, Jason Quicksall, Annie McCue, Jon Latham, and more.
Let's get right into the shuffle!

Wow! It's December..... It's about time to dive into the 2018 Earie Awards! Is this the third annual Earier Awards? I think that's right - maybe fourth annual - who knows... As always, it will different than prior years and I'll be making it all up as I go along...
But first, we missed last Music City Monday - so let's do this. As always, this shuffle comes from my epic (and ever growing) Music City Monday Spotify Playlist - The playlist is new and classic albums and songs from artist and bands who have or have had some connection to Nashville. As you might imagine, it is a diverse combination of all kinds of music from musical friends, musical heroes, and the like.

It's Thanksgiving Eve, and I am winding down my work week - before having/taking 5 days in a row off. More than likely, this will be last shuffle before next Tuesday, but there is a chance I may sneak in a special shuffle...
My experience with thankfulness/gratitude is that it is most needed when you least feel it.
Sending wishes for safe travel to all those on the road for the holiday. I am especially thinking of those facing the holiday away from family or facing a first holiday without a special someone.
For those in Canada - retroactively apply these thoughts to last month. For those outside the U.S., you may ignore - but thankfulness is universal. Peace!
Here's the Wild Wednesday shuffle to today!

I am continuing to work on my Spotify playlists for E2TG. So far, I have completed seven - January - July2018. These are meant to be a cross-section of music I featured during those months - not necessarily music released in those months.

I will say once again, different beliefs are NOT the problem. We are a country, which by our nature, has historically been a beacon to people with differing ideas and beliefs.
In my life, I have experienced several Presidents whose policies and agendas have clashed with what I believe is best or right. What all of those Presidents have done is at least give lip service to the idea they are representing all of us. They have spoken to all of us and presented this case and announced their decisions. Sometimes, I have liked or accepted their explanation and something I have hated it. Sometimes both with the same President. My own political beliefs have developed and changed over time.
What I have witnessed these last two years is something different. Something horrifying. A president who speaks only to his base and considers other citizens to be the enemy. A president who speaks and tweets like a cheap radio talk show host. Who share conspiracy theories and who lies constantly and seemingly with immunity. A president, in short, who acts like an asshole. And the result is that it has emboldened assholes to behave like assholes even more so than typical. I experienced this - again - this weekend. I knew the man was trouble when he talked in with his confederate flag hat. Sure enough, he acted like an asshole. Throwing insults and taunts, and when he was called on his behavior, he pouted like a little child. Like his president.
I am dismayed and discouraged, but for now, I still believe that light will overcome the darkness, and I still believe that there is more good than evil in this world. I just hope good will get up off it's ass and do something - and do something soon.
Music is still my balm. And, it's Monday, so we have our usual Music City Monday shuffle to get the week off on the right foot.
