- Waterfall-Jimmy Cliff (An appealing, almost bubblegum track not far removed from Gary Puckett & The Union Gap's sensibilities. As Cliff is one of reggae's most acclaimed artists, there's no shortage of his songs to recommend--"Sitting In Limbo," "Many Rivers To Cross," "I Want To Know," "Money Won't Save You," "You Can Get It If You Really Want...")
- Our Delight-Regina Carter (Swingin' violin for steppin' out on the town. I'd recommend any of Carter's CDs, but "Paganini: After A Dream" is especially elegant; her version of "Cinema Paradiso" is worth the cost alone.)
- Happy-Pharrell Williams (Seven months after its release, "Happy" can still make you want to "clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do." For times when nothing can spoil your good mood...)
- Mister Magic-Grover Washington, Jr. (One of the artist's most enduring performances. A recurring guitar lick and saxophone chorus, sustained for a good long while.)
- John Barnes Chance: Variations On A Korean Folk Song (Illinois State University Wind Symphony/Stephen Steele, conductor) (An interesting piece that's anthemic yet experimental.)
