Well... another work week is just about done... Since it is Friday, it means it is time for Featured Friday in which we shuffle songs from a smaller subset of our usual playlist. This subset includes mostly songs from albums released this year which have been sent or given to me to include at Ear to the Ground.
Let's just do it....

Well... collectively we have made it through another work week. If you are reading this, I assume you at least like music, so if you can, get out and see some live music this weekend. I know I will...
It is Friday which means another edition of the Featured Friday shuffle of a playlist of music I wanted to highlight and pull out from our usual active playlist. They full list currently has almost 1,100 songs in it, and I have more to add. This subset Featured list stands at about 250 - still substantial but manageable.

Having come of age musically speaking in and around Nashville in the late 80s, it would not surprise anyone that last night's show featuring Webb Wilder and the Beatnecks, Bill Lloyd and his fantastic band, Warner Hodges and his fantastic band, and the newly reunited Government Cheese would be an exciting thing for me to see. I think what impressed me the most was that it wasn't all or even mostly about nostalgia or looking back. I mean sure, I got a certain thrill when Webb did Poolside from It Came From Nashville - his first album. And there were significant memories stirred in the Nashville Jam finale - when everyone returned to the stage to do the late Tim Krekel's "I Can't Help Myself" (a song that Jason and the Scorchers recorded). The most significant aspect of the evening was that everyone had newer material and seemed to be looking forward not back. Government Cheese has a brand new album after decades apart. And Warner Hodges, I dare say, rocked the Music City Roots stage about as hard as it has even been rocked.

New Release News: Lindsay Ellyn Out of Road EP released today!
I met Lindsay Ellyn last Autumn. I featured some songs from her Shores EP here on Ear to the Ground, and I have had the great good fortune to see her play live a number of times since then. She has been hard at work on her new EP for some time, and it is finally released to the world as of this morning. I will be grabbing my copy after work today, but based solely upon the songs I've heard (which are fabulous) and the quality of the people Lindsay worked with on the EP (which is stellar), I can easily recommend you give a listen and add it to your collection.

Well now, how about that? 2013 Ear to the Ground Band of the Year, The End Men dropped the first two songs from their forthcoming new album, Terms and Conditions (due 4/21/2015). The bands' signature sound enhanced by the saxophone stylings of Matthew Elia. You can name your price and get a hold of "Morning Birds" and "East of West" and get some absolutely killer artwork for your desktop. Do it!

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Losing Luster Mix

The week is rolling on...
A few notes:
1. Sad to report yet another incident of touring band having their gear stolen... this time it hit Two Cow Garage. They are an awesome band. If you want to help them out. A GoFundMe account has been set up.
2. I will be heading out around midday tomorrow for sunny Florida for the Safety Harbor Song Festival. Expect a bare bones shuffle tomorrow morning if everything goes as planned. And keep an eye out for my reports from the front lines...
3. Found out my good friends, Young America have their new EP featured on the front page of Noisetrade in the New and Notable section. Well deserved, and if you haven't, grab that EP and show some love.
Let's jump into the shuffle....

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Gypsy Now Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Lot's to cover...
Couch by Couchwest 2015 rolls on, and I am getting further behind on all the great music, but it's a marathon not a sprint... or something like that... actually, I think it is against the rule to use a running analogy when talking about CXCW... Day 2 included appearances by #E2TG favorites Batkhi Dahn and Matt Prater, and the day ending video featured East Nashville's own Tim Easton playing Ray Wylie Hubbard's guitar from the Netherlands or something like that. I hope I didn't miss anyone, but I feel like I did. If so, I will make it up - as I plan to do a mid-week recap as well as a end of festival summary... UPDATE: I remember who I forgot - Tipi Valley - how could I?
Went out last night to see some friends play music... Kiely Schlesinger was stunning as always, Lindsay Ellyn sounded fantastic, and Taylor Alexander from Young America (who released an EP yesterday and who was joined by Lindsay Ellyn) was awesome and the imagining of a Cher as a traditional country singer was brilliant.
In the opening mic that followed, I enjoyed seeing Fendrick and Peck, Eddie Crummer, Darrin Bradbury, and Zachariah Red.
Now, we have a shuffle to put on....

I had the great opportunity to hear some tracks from two of my most anticipated albums of the year, and man oh man are they going to be good... keep your ear to the ground or stay tuned to Ear to the Ground for new albums from Jon Latham and Darrin Bradbury in the future.
In other news, CXCW is rapidly approaching. Get those videos made and submitted...
Now to the shuffle... as I have written on more than one occasion, I love short songs, but long songs make writing the blog easier... we have a bevy of longer songs and thus we have only six in the shuffle today...
