Featured Friday Playlist

Thursday Morning Shuffle

"Box Full of Rocks" by Jason Erie (from Tiny Fires - 2022)

We start out with a track from one of my favorite albums of 2022. E2TG favorite Jason Erie. I have always loved Jason's songs, but on this album - recorded at Wirebird Studios- he really upped the ante on production.

"Parlez Vous" by K. Carter and TINO (from Safe Money EP - 2021)

From about a year ago, we have the results of a collaborations between two unique hip hop artists from the midwest. Cool stuff.

"Train Won't Wait For Me" by Ten Penny Gypsy (from Fugitive Heart - 2020)

Next up, we have a track from the 2020 album by award-winning Arkansas based duo and E2TG favorites Ten Penny Gypsy.

"Too Many Poor Theme" by Rusty Reid (from Head to Heart - 2019)

A Texas native now living in Seattle. Rusty Reid released the powerful statement album during a dark time. This is the lead track and a short instrumental introduction.

"Jigsaw Heart" by Joyann Parker (from Hard to Love - 2018)

Next, we go back to the 2018 sophomore album by this Minnesota based soul blues singer-songwriter. This was my introduction to Parker's great music.

"Good Morning, Well..." by SuperCrashingStar (from Digital Lo-Fi - 2017)

SuperCrashingStar were based in NYC when I first received a direct submission. They have since moved around and shuffled personnel somewhat, by the music has always intrigued me and they have been a favorite. If I recall, this is from an early listen that I got to this album. Just a great track and a reminder of why I love this band.

"Sleeping Alone" by UniversalDice (from Birth, Love, Hate, Death - 2016)

This from the 4th album and second rock opera by the New York band led by Gerry Dantone. UniversalDice use a classic rock style to make highly original rock and roll music.

"Medicine" by Jerry Castle (from Not So Soft Landing... - 2016)

And finally, the good timing award goes to.... I just learned that Nashville singer-songwriter Jerry Castle has a new single coming out in about a month. And this track from his 2016 album shows up in our shuffle.

The overwhelming feeling is that music has always been important to me, and in the end, it is music that has shaped much of my life. More specifically, starting this blog almost 11 years ago was one of the best things I ever did. I am grateful for the people it brought into my life.

Featured Friday Playlist

Tuesday Morning Shuffle

"Crawling Away" by Hadnot Creek (from Hard World - 2020)

First up, we go back to late 2020 and this released from this Charlottesville, Virginia based folk rock group.

"Beautiful & Blue" by Robert Gay & the Alarms (from Atlas [2009-2011] - 2011)

Next, the shuffle takes us back to this 2011 release from long running East Nashville band Robert Gay and the Alarms. Gay is also a trumpet player, who can frequently be found around town - most recently with Lady Couch.

"Open Wound Heart (feat. Cinthya Hussey)" by Beauty in Chaos (from Behind the Veil - 2022)

Musician Michael Ciravolo's on-going project Beauty in Chaos is known for it's use of guest artists from the worlds of alternative music. For the latest release, Beauty in Chaos uses all female vocalists - including this track with Brazilian singer-songwriter, and actress Cinthya Hussey.

"Pygmalion" by Helen America (from Red Sun - 2019)

Helen America is a freak folk singer-songwriter and an underground comic book artist from Seatlle. This is a track from her 2019 release.

"Faith is Believin'" by John Rey-Reed (from Learnin' to Drive The Truck - 2016)

I met singer-songwriter John Rey-Reed at a Christmas party in the pre-COVID days, and that was when I got this album. I lost track of him since then, but we have enjoyed playing songs from this album.

"Higher Ground" by Laurence Jones (from Take Me High - 2016)

Laurence Jones is a young blues rock guitarist from the UK. This goes back to his 2016 release and his cover of the Stevie Wonder song - which was also covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

"Jakfox" by Freaks for Geeks (from TIN - 2016)

Also from 2016, we have a track from the third EP by this Chicago band. I remember this being a favorite of mine from that year.

"Baba Yaga" by The Room in the Wood (from The Room in The Wood - 2018)

And, we close with a track from the 2018 debut album by this Liverpool based band. A great way to take us out.

It is time for another Featured Friday Playlist here at E2TG. Today's list is slightly shorted than last week, but it is jam packed with some great music from old friends and new favorites from Nashville and around the world. We start with a brand new song from a long-time E2TG favorite.

Featured Friday Playlist (song 1)

1. "Where Do I Belong" by Sara Syms

E2TG favorite Sara Syms will be releasing her new album the Darkest Night soon. Today, she releases the forth single from that album.

The gospel influenced “Where Do I Belong”, asks an existential question in The Darkest Light’s journey. Syms shares, "The past few years have flipped humanity on its side, inviting us all to evaluate everything. Whether it’s where you live, what you’re doing for work, who your tribe is, or even what you are doing on this planet, it’s an insecurity and vulnerability humans share. We all want to be a part of something greater than ourselves. We all want to belong."
I cannot wait for the album. The songs released so far have exceded my already high expectations.

Produced by Ari Teitel, and supported by members of Sweet Crude, Snarky Puppy, Cha Wa, The Dirty Dozen and Naughty Professor - the album reflects the diversity of today’s New Orleans sound, everything from jazz, soul, gospel, americana and blues to the contemporary, genre-blending work of Lucinda Williams and the ambient soundscapes of Daniel Lanois.

Check out the rest of the playlist of Spotify and we have more highlights below the jump.

Featured Friday Playlist (songs 2- 14)

2. "Waiting on the End of the World with You" by Alec Lang

I first met Alec Lang at one of Darrin Bradbury's songwriter nights at Dee's - it was few months after Alec moved to Nashville from Iowa. He performed that night, and I was blown away by his songs. He released a new single today. If you've never heard Alec's music - this is as good a place as any to start. If you already know his music, you've likely already listened to this. I haven't made an official announcement, but look for Alec and Darrin (with a guest TBD) on June 8 6pm at The 5 Spot.

3. "The Heart of the Woman You Love" by Bobby Corbin

I met Massachusetts native Bobby Corbin before everything shut down. At first, I met him as a fellow music fan at shows by Darrin Bradbury and others. When I finally heard him perform his own songs, I was duly impressed. He released this new single last week, and I am a fan.

4. "My Love" by Nathan Kalish

I somehow did not meet Nathan Kalish until the pandemic shut everything down, and he released Songs for Nobody. I later learned this is because he is a true road warrior. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to see him perform his songs a number of times, and I am fan. This is his latest single.

5. "Treading Water" by Dude Safari

I believer we have featured every single this UK band has put out since their debut release "Bug Hunter" in March 2021. Just a great fun, grungy rock band.

6. "Trust Fund Troubadour" by Mick Mullin

Next up, we have a new single from Nashville native Mick Mullin. He never minces words when singing about his town and the challenges it is facing in recent years of unrestrained growth - which doesn't always equal progress.

7. "Dial Tone" by Andrew Leahey & the Homestead

After releasing a number of singles in recent weeks and months, Andrew Leahey and the Homestead just released American Static, Vol. 2 - which solidifies their position as of one of Music City's best bands.

8. "Sleeepwalkers" by John Calvin Abney

9. "No One Had What We Have" by Levi Parham

Next up, new singles from a pair of great Oklahoma songwriters. Several years back, I became aware of the strong bond that Nashville and Tulsa's songwriting communities share. It was during this time, that I first encountered the music of John Calvin Abney and Levi Parham. Coincidentally they both released new singles over the last couple of weeks, and it was a good reminder of how good they both are.

10. "Bun E. Carlos" by Silver Lake 66

E2TG first became aware of Portland Oregon duo Silver Lake 66 in 2019 when they released their second album Ragged Heart. We immediately became fans. They have a new album The Space Between Us -due out in June, and today they release the first single (and it is a banger as the kids say). Named after the originally drummer of Cheap Trick - the song really hit me hard.

11. "Child's Play" by Jack Shit

Up next, we have the first single on Devil's Tower Records by the folk/punk/rock singer-songwriter with the name I can't say on the radio... however, at first listen, I think I can play this song.

12. "Standing in the Shadows" by Pete Mancini

Killing the Old Ways - the new album by NYC singer-songwriter Pete Mancini is out now. It was recorded in Water Valley, Mississippi (where E2TG faves Bark recently moved) and was produced by Matt Patton of Drive-by Truckers and Bronson Tew. We have already featured at least one of the pre-release singles.

13. "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" by A Little Farther West

A Little Farther West are an Oklahoma based husband and wife duo. They will be releasing their new album Vaya Con Dios in June. They just released this stunning cover of the Hal David and Burt Bacharach song written for the 1962 James Stewart and John Wayne film of the same name.

14. "Ukrainian National Anthem in Dub (feat. Jon Klein)" by Jah Wobble & The Ukrainians

And we close with a song for Ukraine - by the original bassist for Public Image Limited - a dub version of the Ukrainian National Anthem. A great place to stop.

But the playlist continues with a bunch more great songs- check it out.

Featured Friday Playlist

Tuesday Morning Shuffle

"Not About Nice" by Reckless Johnny Wales (from Red, White & Reckless - 2020)

We start out with a timely track from Reckless Johnny Wales - 2020 album.

"Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder (from Songs in the Key of Life - 1976)

Next up, we have the shorter version of the classic Stevie Wonder song from his 18th studio album.

"Dreaming Hate" by Hollywood Horses (from Mix for a Movement - 2020)

Next up, we have another track from that benefit compilation put out in 2020 by Nashville band Sad Baxter which is no longer available. I could not find any video that was for sure this band- I think I found the band (a band with this name from Birmingham), but I only found one video short which I didn't include because I wasn't sure it was the right band and it was not in a format I could figure out how to add to a playlist. Any way, this is a cool song.

"Baby" by Brittany Howard (from Jaime - 2019)

Brittany Howard got her start in the band Alabama Shakes. This is debut solo album. She has also release music with Bermuda Triangle and Thunderbitch.

"Another Night On Earth" by Charlie Nieland (from Divisions - 2021)

Next up, we have a track from an early 2021 release by New York City based producer and musician Charlie Nieland - who has worked with Blondie, Rufus Wainwright, and Scissor Sisters among others.

"Hands In The Dirt" by Magnolia Bayou (from Strange Place - 2020)

Next, we have a 2020 release from a Mississippi based Southern rock band.

"I Can't Find a Reason" by Warmbabies (from Let's Live Underground - 2022)

And we close with a track from the recently released debut album by this power pop band based in Nice, France.

This is already shaping up to be one of those weeks in Nashville where there is way too many great shows to see and not enough time and/or energy to do them all - especially with doing other things that life requires.

Anyway, it is another Monday - which means it was time this morning to shuffle up our Music City Monday playlist and see what came up... below the jump are the results.

Also - if you haven't done so, please check out this week's Featured Friday Playlist - a lot of great music coming up...

"Many Happy Hangovers to You" by Jason Ringenberg (from Stand Tall - 2019)

Stand Tall could be considered a comeback album for the Nashville music legend Jason Ringenberg, and he hasn't looked back - releasing the follow-up Rhinestoned in 2021. This album was mostly written during a residency with the U.S. National Park Service at Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park.

"Media Pig" by Media Pig (from One - 2019)

"Rise" by Madeleine Besson (single - 2019)

French born singer-songwriter Madeleine Besson returned to her native country during the pandemic. This was one of several 2019 singles that followed her 2018 album Journey Home.

"Still Waiting" by Ryan Sobb (single - 2019)

One of Ryan Sobb's best known songs - later re-recorded and released on the debut album by his band The Dead Mall.

"Howe" by Lambchop (from FLOTUS - 2016)

And, we close with a track from the 12th studio album by the long running Nashville band led by Kurt Wagner. The title in this context stands for "For Love Often Turns Us Still".

Tomorrow night is the kick off of the Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII. Night 1 will be at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge. Night 2 (Saturday) will be at The 5 Spot. And Night 3 (Sunday) will be a house show in Oak Hill.

One of the featured performers on Night 1 at Dee's is an E2TG favorite - David Newbould.

How people choose to navigate through life’s highs and lows reveals a lot about their personal character, not to mention what they’re willing to do in order to get to the other side of the horizon. Chronicling these seemingly endless cycles of daily peaks and valleys forms the backbone of Newbould's 2019 album, Sin & Redemption.

Here are the Facebook event links where you can find all the vital information:

The three night Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII is fast approaching. Three nights of greet roots focused music located at three different venues around town, and featuring some of my favorite artists and bands.

The festival is heavy with Nashville artists - many of whom we regularly cover, but closing out Night 2 of the Hoedown in one of the non-Nashville bands - deFrance.

deFrance formed from the muddy banks of the Ouachita River in the vest pocket town of Camden, Arkansas. Called the “hardest working band in Arkansas,” the band has racked up more than 600 shows since forming in 2015. deFrance now calls Little Rock, Arkansas, home but these road warriors carry their modern take on classic rock & roll across the world, having performed shows at legendary international venues as well as earning the respect of fans locally, with two of their songs being selected for use in Arkansas state tourism commercials. The band’s technical prowess and deliverance of a truly pure rock & roll sound has been recognized with support opportunities for Foghat, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Whiskey Myers, Robert Randolph, Shooter Jennings, Morris Day & The Time, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Living Colour, among others.

deFrance is scheduled to take The 5 Spot stage Saturday night at 11:15.

Here are the links to all three nights' Facebook events. Get on this right now!

Magnolia Roads Presents American Roots Hoedown VII is just three days away. The event kicks off Friday April 29 at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge. The event kicks off at 4pm and the music starts at 5. $10 cover 21+

Our highlighted artist from Friday night is Matt Mann & The Shine Runners who are set to take the stage at 10:20pm.

Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are an American rock band residing in Nashville, TN. Formed in Los Angeles in November 2011 by singer/songwriter and Oklahoma native, Matt Mann, the band made the move to Music City in 2018. With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones, Skynryd, ZZ Top, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Matt Mann and The Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable blues-rock music to enthusiastic crowds. Their bluesy, boozy, two guitar rock sounds transports listeners back into the early seventies, making their music timeless. Matt’s unique style of singing gives the band an authentic sound and sets them apart from other mainstream rock ‘n’ roll bands.

Featured Friday Playlist

Tuesday Morning Shuffle

"Silent Talk" by RUINS (from Pure At Heart - June 2022)

The Liverpool duo RUINS are set to release their second album on June 17. It follows their debut album which was released in 2018. The music has a heady, updated 80s synth vibe. This is also a good to time to remind you that E2TG never posts unreleased music. The music we share is always from a video or streaming service. So, the RUINS are represented in our video playlist by a track from their debut album.

"Revolution Son" by Shiva and the Hazards (single - 2020)

Next up, we have a 2020 single from this Australian band.

"Farewell Maggie Valley" by Dan Weber (from The Way the River Goes - 2022)

Maggie Valley is located in Western North Carolina in the area surrounding Asheville. Dan Weber is currently based in Texas, and this is from his third studio album released earlier this year.

"Oh Angelina!" by Tom Shotton (from Forever Home - 2021)

Next up, we have a track from a late 2021 release which we got hold of in early 2022. Tom Shotton is a South London based singer-songwriter. The album is his solo debut album.

"Fixed Idea" by Cindy (from Free Advice - 2020)

Bay Area band Cindy has become a favorite over the past couple of years. This is from their 2020 album. The original vinyl version of the album sold out quickly and a reissue was ordered equally quickly. The band third album 1:2 was released in late 2021.

"On the Wings of the Morning (feat. Belle McNulty)" by Monks Road Social (from Humanism - 2020)

Next up, a beautiful song featuring jazz/soul singer Belle McNulty by the super group which features members of Blow Monkeys, Style Council, Galliano, Brand New Heavies, and Mother Earth.

"Streetlight" by Bitter Defeat (from Minor Victory - 2021)

Next up, we have the debut EP by this band from New Zealand. Great stuff.

And, we close with a February 2022 release from this Chicago-based singer-songwriter. A great song to close us out for today.

Magnolia Roads

American Roots Hoedown VII

This years Hoedown is almost upon us. Three nights, three venues, over 25 different artists.

Night 2 - the Hoedown returns to it's roots at The 5 Spot in East Nashville. One of the featured performers for Night 2 is Chip Greene.

Raised on the southern outskirts of Nashville, Chip Greene grew up with a very different kind of Music City looming in the distance. The construction cranes and high-rise condos— now a ubiquitous part of Nashville’s ever-growing skyline — wouldn’t pierce the horizon for another decade or more, and creative-minded people were still in charge. It was there, in a city fueled by art and filled with starry-eyed musicians, that Greene launched his career as a piano-pounding songwriter, reshaping the influences of his childhood — including Billy Joel, Charlie Rich, U2, and Bruce Springsteen — into his own brand of smoky, salt-of-the-earth rock & roll.

Today's Music City Monday playlist covers songs spanning a decade of Nashville music representing a variety of genres.

E2TG Favorites Natchez Tracers close out Night 1 of Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII - which takes place at Dee's on April 29.

Formed in 2014, Natchez Tracers are an original rock band based in Nashville, TN. While offering a healthy dose of improvisation-oriented, dance-friendly grooves reminiscent of the originators of this style from the 60's and 70's, Natchez Tracers deliver a modern take on a classic format focusing on thoughtful lyrics, inspired melodies and unexpected instrumental excursions. Co-Band Leaders Lewis Stubbs and Josh Womack are a formidable anchor for the group, equally sharing the song-writing, vocal and guitar-playing duties. Natchez Tracers keep the live show interesting and unpredictable by utilizing a couple of different rhythm sections and often have repeat guest instrumentalists sit in to add unique spins and colors to the performances. The band is currently booking and playing regional shows throughout the Southeast and beyond supporting their 2021 third EP titled Hug You All on the Other Side. More new music is coming in 2022!

Here are the Facebook event links to all three nights of the Hoedown

Next up, we have a fairly recent release from Utah based singer-songwriter Kate MacLeod. Uranium Maiden is a double album - with an electric disc and an acoustic disc. This lovely song is from the acoustic disc. Could not find a video for this song so the Video Playlist has another song from the album.

"Bega 2017" by Oduor Nyagweno (from Where I go, I am there - 2021)

Next up, we have a track from Kenyan nyatiti (a Kenyan lute) master Oduor Nygagweno - which was facilitated by Michigan punk rocker and epidemiologist Dr. Pete Larson.

"I'm Okay" by Melting Mallows (from Something Sweet - 2021)

Next up, we have what was an October 2020 single from the Belgian pop/rock/indie band Melting Mallows - which was eventually released on their debut album which was released in February 2021.

"Polarity Integrate" by KnightressM1 (from Dreams and Devastation - 2020)

Next up, we have a track from the 2020 debut album by San Francisco based KnightressM1.

"Giving In" by Old Californio (from Songs from the Sea of Cortez - 2020)

Next up, we have a 2020 release from this country rock band from Pasadena, California.

"Lost and Found" by Gregory Dwane (from Gregory Dwane - 2021)

"Silly Games" by The Supermercados (from Clean Up in Aisle 9 EP - 2021)

Next up, we have a track from this band from Devon,UK. The song was originally released as a single and then later included on an EP.

"Holy" by Paul Zografi (from In the Room - 2021)

I just played a track from Paul Zografi's brand new album on the radio, and then this track from his November 21 release came up in the shuffle.

"Letterbox (Live)" by They Might Be Giants (from Flood Live in Australia - 2015)

Next up, we have a live version of a song from TMBG 1990 third studio album - and one of my all time favorite albums.

"Can't You Feel the Chains" by Chagall Guevara (from The Last Amen - 2020)

Another live recording - this from a November 1991 performance at 328 Performance Hall that I attended. The album didn't get released until 29 years after the show - thanks to a hugely successful Kickstarter Campaign.

"PTO" by The Gold Souls (from Downtown Sounds - 2021)

Next up a some great funk, soul, and blues from Northern California.

"12 Angry Men" by Emperor Penquin (from Corporation Pop! - 2021)

And we close with a track from a compilation album that collected three of the bands earlier EPs plus added four new songs. Emperor Penguin are from the UK, and I love their sound.

Featured Friday Playlist

Wednesday Morning Shuffle

"Toxic" by Ivan Moult (from What More Could I Say?/Toxic - 2020)

First up today, we have the b-side of a 2020 single from this Welsh singer-songwriter. Good stuff.

"Elmore James" by Tim Easton (from American Fork - 2016)

A favorite song of mine from East Nashville favorite Tim Easton - about the blues guitarist, singer and songwriter who was known as the King of the Slide Guitar. This is the last song we have to feature from Easton's excellent 2016 album.

"Long Tongue Girl" by The Weatherman (from It Sounds Like Stargazing Pop - Vol. 1 - 2020)

Next up, we have a track from the 2020 compilation by this Portuguese singer-songwriter.

"Caterpillar" by David Olney (from Nevermore - 2022 - Not yet released)

This was my first listen to the second of two upcoming final releases from the late, great David Olney. Both albums were recorded live in the Netherlands with Olney's long-time sideman bassist Daniel Seymour. Evermore - the first of the two album is due May 13, and this album Nevermore is due out June 10. Of course, I can't share the actual music with you (the video playlist has the 1995 studio version of the song), but I can tell you it sounds amazing, and the two albums are a fitting tribute to one of the best songwriters and performers.

"Patriocrisy" by The Smoking Flowers (from Patriocrisy - 2021)

Next, the title track to the politically charged 2021 EP by the Nashville duo of Kim and Scott Collins.

"Drink to Forget Things I've Done" by Melancholic Zombie (from This Time Another Night - 2021)

I played a track by Melancholic Zombie on the radio yesterday - this is a track from a 2021 album by the Finnish band.

"Mirrorball" by The Catenary Wires (from Birling Gap - 2021)

The UK indie-pop band with a lovely song about 80s Disco - from their excellent 2021 album.

"So Far Away" by Ed Ryan (from Don't Follow Where They Lead - 2021)

Next up, a track from the July 2021 release from power pop icon Ed Ryan (The Rudies).

"Nuke Laloosh" by The 81s (from 2 Things & 118 Others - 2020)

And finally, we have a track from the third collaborative album between lyricist Tom Siering and composer Tim Carroll. A great way to close out this shuffle.
