I am admittedly late to the game on reviewing Childers’ new album Country Squire from 2019. Let’s just say we’ve all been a little busy over the past few months dealing with this and that. But let’s tackle these fantastic songs from one …

Emerging singer songwriters for May 2020
Thomas Lavine – “World of gray”-The sincerity of Thomas Lavine’s performance is delightfully evident from first listen. The whistling just takes this song from good to great. The easy going string work (both guitars and violins) creates a depth in this song that …
Album Review: Adam Melchor – Summer Camp
From the opening of Adam Melchor’s new album Summer Camp the listener is faced with a fundamental juxtaposition between the track going backwards and forwards. That probably sounds a bit crazy, but it works incredibly well. Adam Melchor is an insanely talented songwriter …
Here are five brand new tunes worthy of adding to your playlists
Plasi – “Remember”-I don’t know how Plasi keeps doing this, but he just writes music that connects with me. If you’ve ever reminisced on the early days of your relationship or (gasp!) perhaps one from the past, this song will resonate with you. …
Get your groove back – a rock and soul list
Phillip-Michael Scales – “Find a way”-If you think they don’t make music like they used to, give Phillip-Michael Scales a spin. The production on this track is stellar. Scales has an incredible vocal style that takes the lead on a groove-heavy, fun track …
Let the guitar sing – a folk music playlist

An entire list made up of folk music carefully curated by co-editor Greg Jones of EarToTheGround Music while playing a mean pencil-on-fake-wood-desk backbeat percussion part
by Greg Jones, who is still totally and 100% together Fransancisco – “What happens now”-So the title question here is really THE question. What happens now? Do I have to put on pants with a belt? (Please say no) Do we break the …
Let’s keep the new tunes spinning, friends
Sean Christopher – “Indigo blue”-I really like the composition of this piece. Both the energy of the acoustic guitar and the lead vocal style. The entire feel is really comfortable in a unique way. I find the backing vocals to create a sense …
A midweek (or is it!?) playlist
Human Barbie – “Don’t run away”-If you like creative singer songwriters, go ahead and drop that follow on Human Barbie. I’ve never heard anything like this. There are elements of theatricality along with “alt rock” flavors. It all mixes together for a truly …
Grab your acoustic guitar and play along with these gems
Edward Doyle – “Yesterday” (Beatles cover)-When Doyle contacted me about this song, he said he didn’t think we’d cover it because it’s a cover. Well, I have to say that I don’t TYPICALLY feature covers, but this is not typical by any stretch. …
