Between the Grooves: The Apache Relay's Refined Roots
Nashville-based The Apache Relay bring their animated live performance to the air this week.
Despite the name, it's not a baton they pass around, but instruments. Their rousing live shows have turned audiences into advocates for the band. Even more impressive, they've opened for Mumford and Sons and friendships between the bands have developed.
Their second album, American Nomad, produced by Neilson Hubbard, evolves their rootsy, raw repertoire from their early days at Belmont University into intricately structured, symphonic pop and soul. Frontman Michael Ford Jr sings passionately and is sure to place the record on critics top CDs of the year lists.
The Apache Relay play this week's Between the Grooves Thursday at 2pm on WTMD.

CD of the Week: Paul Simon's Rock of Faith
Christmas was a few months go that the song that opens Paul Simon‘s So Beautiful or So What, seems late to the party.
On “Getting Ready for Christmas Day,” a sample of a 1941 sermon by Rev. J.M. Gates anchors a contemporary mortality tale. And that sets the mood for Simon’s musings on reaching the Pearly Gates on “The Afterlife,” another standout track on the CD.
Simon returns to speaking in straight ahead rock and roll “Love & Blessings.”
So Beautiful or So What doubtlessly will rank with Paul Simon’s best.
