In addition to the Nashville RSD festivities, I know our friends Tim Lee 3 are playing at Lost and Found Records in Knoxville, Tennessee.
If anyone else has Record Store Day events to promote, please let me know, and I will try to get it mentioned in the next couple of days. Bottom line people, support your local record store(s) not just Saturday but all through the year.
Pre-Shuffle: In the pre-shuffle today, we heard a couple more tracks from the KidGrownUp mixtape by Christian Robins. If you haven't - check it out here.
We heard music from a couple of totally unrelated but equally awesome Nashville artists. Leroy Powell and the Messengers released their latest album, Life and Death, at the end of February - this is some real deal Country/Rock. Grass Root Kids have been getting a lot of buzz in the past several months since I first found out about them. Among their members is the daughter of a good friend. They have a 3 song sampler from their Debut Ep Loose Change out on Noisetrade.
Rounding out the Pre-shuffle is a raucous and totally cool cover of the Hank Williams song, Lost Highway, by The Replacements from their brand new benefit CD, Songs for Slim. The record is to support Slim Dunlap who took Bob Stinson's place in The Replacements, and who suffered a devastating stroke.
Shuffle after the jump.
