I have been laying pretty low this week - trying to work on somethings, but I did manage to get out early last night to see the kick off of the Crackerboots residency at The 5 Spot. Luella and Bill DeMain backed by an amazing band delivered some gorgeous jazz-influenced music. Singer-songwriter Cletus Carr opened, and I dug him. The residency continues every Wednesday through the end of October.
It is Thursday and throw it back to some music from previous decades... enjoy.

Throwback Thursday Morning Shuffle - So Far Today Mix

Welcome back to E2TG! So, last night Amelia White wrapped up her month-long residency at The 5 Spot. As special guest Reckless Johnny Wales said, this means she is now a doctor! Reckless Johnny sounded fantastic - as usual - backed by Chris Tench on guitar.
Amelia had an incredible band backing her including Robert Mache from Memphis, Parker Hawkins, and Fran Breen. Plus Chris Tench sat in for most of the set. Special guest Julie Christensen added her legendary vocals to some of Amelia's songs plus did a few of her own songs. Surprise guest Tomi Lynn Lunsford joined Christensen to sing background on "Dogs Bark" and then stayed to back up the last song of the night. A wonderful ending to a fantastic residency.
Tonight: The 5 Spot is once again the place to be. Mark Robinson wraps up his Residency (I guess he will be a doctor now, too) in style. With an expanded showband with Mark Jordan and Ben Graves joining Daniel Seymour and Rick Schell. Plus the special guests are two of the finest vocalist Nashville has to offer... Jonell Mosser and Vickie Carrico. Noted music blog, Ear to the Ground called the Mark Robinson Band one of the best live bands around, and they have certainly lived up to that this month. Tonight will be one to remember. 6:00pm.

May 18! #E2TG 5 Year Anniversary Spectacular at The 5 Spot!
Another day at the State Park... or at least half a day. Long drive home - GPS diverted me around traffic and on an interesting tour of West Nashville. I listened to 35 songs from the Throwback playlist and feeling adventurous, I am presenting 23 of those songs for you today. Minimal verbiage today. I think all but two of the actual songs are found in video form in the playlist. The other two are substituted by the same artist. Go!

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Got No Mind to Lose Mix
Tweet #E2TG
End of Pre-Pre-Shuffle
SHUFFLE NEXT
Set list from Royal Court of China Reunion Show 6/21/2013
So a longer than usual morning commute in three parts instead of the usual two, and tons of great music. As usual, the Video Playlist at the end attempts to represent the songs in the mix - actual song when possible, alternate song or video if not possible. Only one artist/song is not in the Playlist but more on that later.
Pre-Pre-Shuffle:
"The Turning Quiet" by Joshua Worden (Soulful Pop)
"Two Weeks on the Ocean" by James the Giant (not represented on playlist 'cause I couldn't find any videos - debut self-titled EP and this song is the first "single" - Album due out next month - a song about his brother who was killed in Afghanistan. This one gave me goosebumps)
"Get Lucky" by Daft Punk feat. Pharell (Yeah!)
"Justice'nt Right" by Wheelchair Sports Camp (Yes! Very yes!)
"Stuck" by Canopy Climbers (from their latest - Miles)
"Forget It" by Royal Court of China (they did this one in the show Saturday night. A favorite from the self-titled record)
"The Ballad of Billy Polk" by The End Men (Hell yeah - The End Men back in the shuffle with a favorite from their latest, Play With Your Toys (ah who am I kidding their all favorites)
"Alex Chilton" by The Replacements (if this was all The Replacements had done, it would be enough to immortalize them... "I never go far, without a little Big Star")
"The Walking Dead" by Bella's Bartok (Um... Oh, yeah!)
End of Pre-Pre-Shuffle
Pre-Shuffle
"Coming On a Black Day" by Stomacher (One of our favorites from the early days of this blog. This song - hell this whole album and their subsequent release are brilliant. This may still be my favorite Stomacher song)
"You've Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" Mr. Kind and Picture Atlantic (collab. featuring our friend Brian Bergeron's band Mr. Kind joining forces with San Jose band Picture Atlantic, to take on a Spoon song)
"Psycho Therapy" by Ramones (First you try Psycho Therapy - from 1983s Subterranean Jungle)End of Pre-Shuffle
