Had an unexpected sick day yesterday, but we are back now.  

Also, due to illness and out of an abundance of caution, I did not do the Greetings from Nashville show this morning.  I will be back next week with Ear to the Ground on Tuesday and Greetings from Nashville on Thursday, 

Today is your last chance to check out this week's Featured Friday Playlist - so please do so.  A new list hits around midnight or so.

Before we get to our Featured Friday Playlist, we have a new non-Spotify single to feature - from E2TG favorite Mighty Joe Nolan.  The Detroit native and long-time Nashville singer-songwriter, journalist, podcaster, and much more - just released his tribute to drive-in movies on Bandcamp - just in time for the relaunch of Bandcamp Fridday - where the platform waives their fees.  

Here is some more about this new single: "Back to the Drive-In" is the second single off Mighty Joe Nolan's upcoming plague-times song cycle, American Guillotine. "Back to the Drive-In" celebrates the unexpected revival of "movies in cars" with this rock 'n' roll tribute to B movies and American summertime culture.

"I went to my first drive-in movie when I was a little kid in Detroit. We saw Peter Pan and Escape from Witch Mountain. But when you're a kid the drive-in isn't just about movies. It's also about the swingsets and see-saws, the concession stand - we even had a fireworks show during the intermission of the double feature. Drive-ins coming back during the pandemic was a weird and hopeful thing during a miserable time. The song is a tribute to monster movies and sci-fi films, but it's also filled with lots of visceral memories from my earliest experiences of 'movies in cars.'"

The song's stripped-down sound - like all of the tracks on American Guillotine - reflects the album's isolated production during various levels of social distancing. The single's spare arrangement shouts out vintage hip hop as well as 1950s rock 'n' roll, and Nolan's singular gift for lyric writing brings the cinematic setting flickering to life: 

 

Also out today on Bandcamp, a new album from bassist Cameron Carrus who recently moved from Nashville to Brooklyn.  Odd is a collection of instrumentals with some special guests like Adam Kurtz, Julia Blair, and Rich Ruth.  Check it out below:
