FM dial scan highlights XX

Noteworthy tracks heard this evening:

KDHX 88.1 FM
  • Billions Of Eyes-Lady Lamb The Beekeeper (Musings about the ordinary and not-so-ordinary moments that make up a person's life.  Sometimes, you're just relieved to catch your train on time.  I look forward to hearing the rest of Lady Lamb's new CD when it's released March 3.)
  • 1000 Black Birds-Tyler Ramsey (The open air production values fit this thoughtful ode to bird songs.)
  • Get Up-Caitlin Canty (Hauntingly plaintive vocals in this good, new release.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
  • Solar-The Stanley Clarke Trio with Hiromi & Lenny White (A strong piano/bass/drums rendition of a Miles Davis tune.  Also, check out the Renee Rosnes Trio with strings version.)
  • Laura-Charlie Parker (A beautiful, elegant saxophone ballad; it's one of my two favorite Parker tracks.  The other is "Star Eyes.")
 WFUN 95.5 FM
  • Hello, It's Me-The Isley Brothers (One of Todd Rundgren's best hits lends itself well to smooth R&B harmonizing.)
