Today, we wrap up our recap of this week's jam-packed and highly diverse Featured Friday Playlist - just in time for a new list - which will premiere tomorrow! Now songs 28-33

28. "Underwater with You" by The Spiritual Leaders

First up today, we have the latest single from the Irish three-piece rock band from their Albania Away EP.  A great start to this final segment from this week's list.

29. "Lone Sleeper"  by Inner Skin

Next up, we have a new single from the Italian rock band Inner Skin. Great stuff.

30. "Side by Side" by Sienne

Next up, we have the latest single from the Liverpool band. This is the third single from a so-far untitled debut EP.  The band's first single premiered at a Liverpool vs. Manchester United match in January. 

31. "Say the Word" by The Allergies; Andy Cooper; Marietta Smith

The list takes a decidedly funky turn with the latest single from Bristol band The Allergies - who collaborate with Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling) and Marietta Smith (Smith and the Honey Badgers). A great summertime song. 

32. "This Side of Luv" by KEYS

Another summery tune - this time out of Cardiff, Wales. The latest single - from a collection of songs recorded to four track tape during lockdown. 

33. "Secrets & Lies" by Raz & Afla

Some political dance music closes out this week's playlist from the London-based duo of Raz & Afla. Music to keep you moving and thinking. 

I have been very pleased with how this week's list has played out - some old friends and hopefully some new friends.  Tomorrow - a whole new list. Stay tuned.

Wild Wednesday Morning Shuffle - You're a Vegetable Mix

Seven years ago, May 2010, much of Nashville was under water. Heavy rains, some ill advised dam activity, and who knows what else had combined to create one of the worse floods in this cities history. The damage spread from the east side of town to the west and even affected downtown.

I had to work on the Monday following the end of rain, and at lunch time I took a walk - listening to music and took pictures. Cars and streets underwater. The tops of light poles barely sticking out of the water. I posted a note on Facebook about that walk and included the listing of songs I heard while I walked.

Nashville emerged from the flood stronger than ever, and many, many people have arrived here since that flood happened. Walking downtown, you'd never know it happened, but it did.

About one year later, I started writing Ear to the Ground. The two events are not really related, although both speak to my desire to share the music I hear and to relate that music to... whatever - the world, my life, my day...

Without any direct intent, this space has been a chronicle of my journey through this life - accompanied by the soundtrack.  It's a simple concept, and every time I try to complicate it - as I inevitably do, I end up mucking things up... but so far, I have always pressed on.

Tonight, I wanted to express my gratitude for the people and the music who have kept E2TG going. It's going to be a month-long party, and you are invited. It all begins tonight around 6:00pm at The 5 Spot in East Nashville with featured music from Mark Robinson Band.  Come on out!

I loaded a bunch of music into my phone last night - including about 450 songs for the new Topical Thursday Playlist which will premiere tomorrow. Today, the shuffle comes from all 2,000+ songs in my phone memory. It's what I like to call "Wild Wednesday"...

One is the loneliest number...
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"

Etta James Rocks the House Simply one of the greatest live blues albums ever captured on tape. Cut in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, the set finds Etta James in stellar shape as she forcefully delivers her own "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and "Seven Day Fool" interspersed
