Okay - I'm even more rushed than usual. So let me get right it.

It is Day 3 of the WXNA Spring Pledge Drive - so if you want to give - the easiest way is to go to wxnafm.org Or you can call 615-933-9962. You can make a one-time pledge or set up an automatic monthly deduction. Either way - there is great swag and you will be helping to support an incredible community resource.
Tonight is the CD release show for Meghan Hayes excellent album - Seen Enough Leavers - at the 5 Spot at 6pm. She has a great band backing her and some cool songwriters opening the show. Seen Enough Leavers is a remarkable album.
Now Wednesday - the day we get wild and wacky! Well, I guess we do that every day... but we call it Wild Wednesday for good reason - as you will soon see.

"The Four Corners" by Danny Sandock
Next up, we have our old friend California (by way of Indiana - with a stop in Tennessee) singer-songwriter Danny Sandock with a track from his 2014 album Breakin' New Ground. The song is about that point where four states meet.

Next up, we have California twee pop punk rockers Rat Fancy with a track from their upcoming debut album Stay Cool.
"Resistance" by Lions'Den
Next up, we have a track from Songbird by Lions'Den - a project of guitarist Rhy Dongju - it is guitar driven electronic music. Cool stuff.

"Kitty Wells Dresses" by Laura Cantrell
Next up - a lovely song about another country legend - this by Nashville native Laura Cantrell. J Mar played a Laura Cantrell song Monday night while I was working the WXNA Pledge Drive, so it is really cool this came up today.
"Losing Heart" by The Secret Sisters
How about The Secret Sisters covering a modern country legend - Brandi Carlile. This is from the anniversary tribute to her album The Story - called Cover Stories which was released 2017 - 10 years after the release of the original album.

Nashville (by way of L.A.)' honky tonk angel - Suzette Lawrence is up next with a track from her album Tear Up the Honky Tonk.
"Black Flag Blues" by Adam Carroll (feat. Scott Nolan)
More Adam Carroll - this time it's one of my favorite songs of his - from his 2008 album Old Town Rock N Roll. Featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Scott Nolan. A wonderful track.
"Lightning" by Grumsling
Next up - our old friends from California - Grumsling with a track from their album A Church, On a Boat, In the Sea. It's been a little while since we've heard from them. I loved their cinematic take on rock and roll.
"Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" by Arcade Fire
And we close with Arcade Fire with a track from their 2007 album Funeral. A great track to close out the day.
