Happy Thursday... sending good thoughts to everyone in the path of Hurricane Matthew. And especially thinking about those who have lost life and property in the Caribbean.
Congratulations to WXNA-LP Nashville for finishing second to Lightning 100 in the Nashville Scene Readers Poll for Best Radio Station. A remarkable achievement for a low power station that has only been on the air for 4 month. Super proud to play a small part in the station, but props go out to our super hard working and dedicated Board and our fearless leader Heather Lose. This achievement is a testament to the impact the station has already had on the community.
Well, the Buck N Stuff show was the epic throw down that I expected. My favorite moment was the Buck Owens cover that they performed. #BuckNStuff are the absolute best. They announced last night that they will be playing The 5 Spot for New Years Eve. Make your plans now. 2017 is sure to be the Year of Buck N Stuff.
It is Thursday when we throw things back, and I think we have a really awesome shuffle today... shall we?

Throwback Thursday Morning Shuffle - Some Sign of Pursuit Mix

It was one of those early shows at The 5 Spot in East Nashville where you could have put together one hell of an all-star band just from the people in attendance. But, truth be told, there was no need for that because David Olney was on the stage, and he was, as I have come to expect, out of this world. Where else could you hear The Bee Gees and Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the same set? Backed by Ward Stout, Justin Amaral, and Daniel Seymour, it was captivating and amazing. Olney has one more Wednesday to go in his month long residency, and I highly recommend your attendence next week if at all possible.
The week rolls on, and suddenly, we find ourselves at Thursday. This week we throw things back with an interesting collection of songs... check it out...

There are times when the world gets me down... I try to generally stay positive about things, and I know that overall, I am definitely one of the fortunate ones. Sometimes, though, it all gets overwhelming - even the stuff I love, and I have an urge just to run away from everything - at least for a day or a week... And then, something happens to flip everything around in my mind and my psyche. Over the last couple of days, I have become acutely aware of something: relative to nothing but my own experience and life, I have gotten to know a whole bunch of people. When I go out to hear music (which you may have gathered is something I do every now and again), I usually go by myself, but I rarely stay that way. And it is not just a bunch of people I know, but it is a bunch of people that I genuinely care about. Not only that, but I have been fortunate enough to get to know some amazingly talented people, and sometimes, I get to see a bunch of those amazingly talented people make music together (or at least on the same night).
Megan Palmer celebrated the release of her new album What She's Got to Give at The Basement East. Darrin Bradbury opened the night with an inspired solo set that included the rarely performed classic, "Denim-Clad Acid-Wash Man" ("His only regret, his Steve Miller tat") and the resurrected lost gem, "Van Rock" ("'Cause gas and rent are the same in a van").
Megan followed with a full-band set (she played the new album top to bottom) plus added the favorite "Richland Woman". The band was filled with East Nashville favorites including a pretty amazing group of background vocalists - (Tim Easton, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Ariel Bui, Emma Berkey, Nellie Clay and more) - but the star of the show was Megan Palmer which was appropriate since many people know her from backing up all sorts of folks. The songs were amazing, and Megan played fiddle, guitar, and keyboards and sang beautifully. Her cover of John Hartford's "In Tall Buildings" (which is on the new album) was so incredibly moving that several people remarked that it brought tears to their eyes.
The Allen Thompson Band closed the night. I always love to see Allen Thompson sing, and the band sounded tight and loose at the same time. It was a great set to end a really incredible night that made me happy to be at the place in my life to be able to experience it.
By the way, Megan Palmer's new album is absolutely fantastic, and you really need to buy it.
So it is Throwback Thursday at E2TG... The #tbt playlist is actually the smallest of the five I have, and I guess that speaks to the amount of new music I regularly post. Still, it is fun to take a day to just take a spin through some amazing songs of years gone by. There are some classic songs from some classic albums represented in this list.. so sit back and enjoy....

Throwback Thursday Morning Shuffle - The Fruit of Another MixA

Hello Thursday!
Had a good time last night out at the first ever Garden Party Concert in Hermitage. They got off to a great start by having the amazing Ashleigh Flynn play. The weather was idyllic, the food was excellent, and the music was outstanding. Seriously, Ashleigh Flynn who is from Portland, Oregon -by way of Kentucky - is a great songwriter and storyteller. It was nice to hear her do Todd Snider's "Play a Train Song" without some guy jumping on stage and singing like happened the last time I saw her at The 5 Spot.
For those of you not in Nashville, you may not know it, but this is CMA Festival Week which means a few of things...
1. It is also Bonnaroo week
2. The temperatures about to get ungodly hot
3. Traffic in downtown Nashville is about to hit critical mass
In light of #3, rather than trying to get out of downtown and go home after work, I will be heading across the river for some counter-programming. The guy who Rolling Stone named one of the Ten New Country Artists You Need to Know in May 2016 and who loyal E2TG readers have known about since at least late 2013, Darrin Bradbury, will be joining Don Gallardo ("country-rock with brains, charm and experimental impulses that are perfectly integrated into a familiar context." Nashville Scene) for Week 2 of Gallardo's residency at The 5 Spot.
Well, it is Thursday when I (and the rest of the internet) throw things back to a far more earlier time. Today's shuffle is typically unpredictable and wildly diverse. Maybe my unpredictability is getting predictable? The shuffle just might include at least one song that you will hear in about 48 hours on the debut Double Shot with Joe and Sue on WXNA-LP Nashville. Check out the shuffle below and then tune in Saturday and see if you can figure out to which song I am referring....

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!

Well, here we are. Another late posting. Tomorrow likely will be, too. Let's jump to it. Plus by stupid bluetooth earphones have bitten the dust. Replacements are on their way.
We've been doing the "Earies" for about a week now. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves. I am coming up with winners faster than I am coming up with Award names.... but it's all good. I just hope I don't forget anyone, but I probably will...
Today's award is the "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" Award.
The premise: I have known for some time that Nashville is the home to some amazing blues players and music, but that fact came into sharp focus for me this year. The other thing that came into sharp focus for me is that "The Blues" is not a narrow genre of music and it is very much alive and well in this middle year of the second decade of the new millennium. This award is meant to recognize some of the best of the blues and it so happens both of this years winners come from Nashville, and they both bring their own unique twist to the genre.
The Award goes to Ted Drozdowski's Scissormen and Eight O'Five Jive.
Ted Drozdowski is a journalist and scholar of the Blues and an amazing guitar player. With his trio, he brings Mississippi to Nashville and rolls into a sweet psychedelic coating while telling stories and blowing minds. Love and Life was one of the best albums of the year and one of the best albums Ted Drozdowski has made. An electrifying live act (no stage can contain Ted and no utensils or glassware are safe from being used as a guitar slide.
Eight O'Five Jive play upbeat, swinging jump blues that evokes an earlier era while remaining firmly rooted in the present. Their album, Too Many Men, was smart and sexy and a whole lot of fun. They won a couple of awards at this years Nashville Independent Music Awards including Best Blues Artist, and now they can add an "Earie" to their award cabinet,

First of all, let's all try to be good to one another...
Second, The "Earies" continues. I call today's award, "So You Think Joe Can Dance??? Really???" award.
The premise: I mean c'mon, I'm a fighter not a dancer... or something like that. I mean, sure I will flail around sometimes in a crowd in front of the stage, but when it comes to spontaneous dancing, it does not happen that often... however....
The Winner: As I have said before, The Mark Robinson Band is one of the best and most entertaining live acts in Nashville. They do not play in town super often, and so when they do, it is Must See Live Music. Mark Robinson is a stellar guitarist and his rhythm section (usually Justin Amaral and Daniel Seymour) are simply the best (at the most recent show, Rick Schell filled in for Justin and he's not slouch either.... ahem*Pure Prairie League*ahem).
So at the tail end of this years Tomato Fest in East Nashville, it came about due to the infectious grooves and some instigators, I found myself dancing not once but twice. I figured that deserved an award (not my dancing!!!). By the way, many of the awards are directly or indirectly going to be related to albums released in 2015.... because I hate doing Top 10 lists - basically. Mark Robinson and his band did not release a new album in 2015 (expect one next year), but Robinson has been busy producing other folks and he did release a two-sided single, "Gone South" (both an Electric Rock and Acoustic Folk version).
Congrats to The Mark Robinson Band with a hat tip to the instigators Mary Sack, Karen Leipziger, and Mark Robinson's lovely other half, Sue Havlish. Let's Dance!
Third, I am emerging for my self-imposed exile from live music beginning tonight. Over the next three days, I expect to see the following artists on Nashville stages: Fats Kaplin, Red Collar, Two Cow Garage, Austin Lucas, Jon Latham, Malcolm Holcomb, Sadler Vaden, and Drivin' n' Cryin' with Warner E. Hodges. Whew! Other cool stuff that I will have to miss, too.
Fourth, we have a very cool shuffle this morning... so jump to it!

Saturday Morningish Music Shuffle - Spring Cleaning Mix

A rare Saturday shuffle to make up for not posting yesterday... life happens - you know....
It's been a very interesting week in many ways. Musically, since we last connected, Thursday night, I went to week 3 of 5 of Campfire Propaganda. It was a blast with the usual suspects - who are some pretty awesome songwriters: Brian Wright, Tim Easton, Megan Palmer, Darrin Bradbury, and Nellie Clay plus this week joined by Matt Haeck. Then, I headed to The Family Wash to see Bark (Tim and Susan of Tim Lee 3) play an awesome set and then back up Jim Mize along with Laurie Stirratt.
Last night, it was the Jon Latham CD Release Show at Belcourt Taps. Darrin Bradbury opened. A really fun time. Jon was joined by Haley Dreis, Josh Morris, Shawn Conerton, and Sean Quinn. And he even asked me to emcee the show. There was tons going on musically around Nashville last night, and I though I don't like that I missed some of the things that I missed, I know I was at the right place.
Speaking of Jon Latham. In case you missed it, I wrote some words about Real Bad News - his brand new album. You can check it out HERE.
Just some tunes I listened to while I did some spring cleaning this morning. And, the answer is yes, I do know that it is mid-October. What can I say, it has been a crazy, busy summer...
I am not going to comment on the songs - many I found the actual song for the Video Playlist. If something interests you, and you need help finding out more - shoot me a line and I will tell you all I know. Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy and maybe if you need to do some spring cleaning you can listen while you clean - like I did.

So, I guess the sort of official AMA Fest things start today - or something like that, but last night things got off to an official and wonderful start with the Kevin Gordon CD Release Show at the City Winery- Nashville with Sarah Potenza opening. You can read my review - here (currently on the front page of No Depression)
Tonight things get going in a pretty insanely good way with a throw down at the Basement East featuring so many people it is not even funny. Doors at 7, Show starts at 8 with Campfire Propaganda (an amalgamation of killer songwriters all of whom I have raved about on E2TG). Don't be late...

It seems like the week has just begun, and yet here we are at mid-week. Went out to The Bluebird Café last night for a great songwriters round. In an audience filled with people from Australia, Scotland, England, Poland, and other places, I got to see some of my favorite East Nashville songwriters perform some of their wonderful songs. Tim Easton hosted the night which featured Amy Speace, Darrin Bradbury, and Megan Palmer.
We have kind of short but sweet shuffle today... let's get to it.

I got to see and hear some of my favorite East Nashville songwriters last night and I was home before 9:00. Brian Wright opened up Joe Fletcher's final residency at The 5 Spot, and he had Aaron Lee Tasjan play with some, and then Darrin Bradbury and Brian did Darrin's song, "Blue Highway" which is one of my favorites. And, Joe Fletcher played his amazing songs and had Brian Wright and Aaron Lee and Margo Price join him, and at the end they all did "I'm Waiting for My Man" - the Velvet Underground song, and it was a pretty awesome moment... plus I got to see and hang out with some of my favorite people.
I'm staying in tonight and gearing up for a very busy end of August into a crazy busy September.
Today in the shuffle, we have some really cool songs from a variety of genres - including a couple that I didn't even know existed....

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Caught in a Trap Mix
Another rainy morning here in Nashville. Today, a spin of one of my many random playlists filled with music I like.
(Click on album cover to purchase Genius of Love 2001 (Ozomatli Remix) by Tom Tom Club)
Tom Tom Club is a spin-off band of Talking Heads featuring Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Genius of Love was originally released on the Bands 1981 debut. It was redone in 2001. The version today is one of several remixes. The band celebrated the 30th anniversary of the song this year.
(click on album cover to purchase Soul Kitchen by X)
Soul Kitchen on X's debut album Los Angeles is a cover of a Doors' song from their debut album (The Doors). Ray Manzarek, the Doors' keyboardist produced the X album.
(click on album cover to purchase Suspicious Minds by John Eddie)
Suspicious Minds is a live cover of a song made famous by Elvis Presley. The song reached number 1 in 1969. It comes from John Eddie's live album Guy Walks into a Bar...
(click on album cover to purchase Slim Gets in 'Em by Gustafer Yellowgold)
