FM dial scan highlights VI

Noteworthy tracks from today's listening session:

KDHX 88.1 FM
  • Howlin' Bones-Hannah Aldridge (Aldridge has a promising future, thanks to a powerful voice that mixes blues and country influences.)
  • Little Of The Farm In Me-Steve Perron (Appropriate lyrics for Thanksgiving show an appreciation for the past and present.) 
WSIE 88.7 FM
  • Peggy's Lament-Brett Stamps (Elegant, midtempo trombone jazz from a talent who should be better known.) 
KSHE 94.7 FM
  • Lady Luck-Kenny Loggins (An unusual track for Loggins; the lyrics and vocals have more of a bite.)
  • Bluebird-Leon Russell (Being alone with your sorrow sometimes results in a memorable song.  The piano, bass, and backup singing augment Russell's vocals impressively.)
WFUN 95.5 FM
  • Very Special-Debra Laws (It was good to hear this track again, as it's a solid call-and-response song that's one of the first ones I associate with early '80s KMJM.)
