It is time for another Featured Friday Playlist here at E2TG.  Today's list is slightly shorted than last week, but it is jam packed with some great music from old friends and new favorites from Nashville and around the world.  We start with a brand new song from a long-time E2TG favorite. 

Featured Friday Playlist (song 1)

1. "Where Do I Belong" by Sara Syms

E2TG favorite Sara Syms will be releasing her new album the Darkest Night soon. Today, she releases the forth single from that album.  

The gospel influenced “Where Do I Belong”, asks an existential question in The Darkest Light’s journey. Syms shares, "The past few years have flipped humanity on its side, inviting us all to evaluate everything. Whether it’s where you live, what you’re doing for work, who your tribe is, or even what you are doing on this planet, it’s an insecurity and vulnerability humans share. We all want to be a part of something greater than ourselves. We all want to belong."

 I cannot wait for the album.  The songs released so far have exceded my already high expectations. 

Produced by Ari Teitel, and supported by members of Sweet Crude, Snarky Puppy, Cha Wa, The Dirty Dozen and Naughty Professor - the album reflects the diversity of today’s New Orleans sound, everything from jazz, soul, gospel, americana and blues to the contemporary, genre-blending work of Lucinda Williams and the ambient soundscapes of Daniel Lanois. 

Check out the rest of the playlist of Spotify and we have more highlights below the jump.

Featured Friday Playlist recap (Part 4) (songs 14-17):

14. "Here at Last" by Jane and John

First up, we have a track from this UK alt-pop duo that formed during the lockdowns with part of their most recent double A-side single.

Next, we have the title track to the debut EP from the project of singer-songwriter Karan Naik - who grew up in New Jersey but who is currently based in Austin, Texas.  It is the first taste from the forthcoming debut album by Late Night Feelings.

17. "Crack and the One Armed Baby" by Punk as a Doornail

And we close with a fun track from this long-running punk rock duo from California that featured drum and the skatar (a skateboard guitar) to create their sound which has evolved from pure noise to incorporate a variety of influences with out losing any of the edge.

Before you ask, I did not watch the presidential address last night...  Let me ask... Did he say that he was going to remove white supremacists from his administration?  Did he say he had made a mistake in appointing an Attorney General with an abysmal civil rights record? Did he promise a full, independent investigation into Russia's tampering with the election and his campaign staff's communication with that country?  Did he reveal a healthcare plan that covers all Americans?  Did he denounce the recent racially and ethnically motivated violence and vandalism that are being carried out by people who believe they are acting on his behalf?    What's that... no?  Then, I am really not interested in what ever b.s. he spouted.

Hey - shameless self-promotion time.  I am working to release a LONG, LONG overdue novel - sometime this year, and I just recorded a very short Intro - from the beginning of the novel.  Here it is.  More to come about The Drift...




Well - after a couple of nights staying in to work, my week of live music begins tonight.  Earie Award Winner (2015) D.L. Duncan begins his residency at The 5 Spot - early show.  Later, a bunch of my favorite songwriters (lots of Earie winners included) will be at The Country for a round.

Tomorrow night, I am so thrilled to be seeing John Doe at The Basement, and even more thrilled that 2015 Artist of the Year and 2016 Earie winner - Jon Latham will be opening the show!

Time for some Wild Wednesday tunes...
