WFUV (Bronx, NY)
- Big Yellow Taxi-Joni Mitchell (Contains one of the most valid lyrics about the environment in any song, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." It's rare to find a song with this level of concern and such a breezy, sing-along quality. Here's hoping there's good news to report about Mitchell's health very soon.)
- Falling From The Sky-Calexico (A sign of good things to come from the band's forthcoming release, "Edge Of The Sun." Also recommended: "Alone Again Or," a spot-on cover of Love's great '60s tune.)
- Of Things To Come-Stefon Harris (Horns and vibes in harmony; this is how you strike up the band.)
- Three Faces Of Lecuona: La Comparsa No. 2-Chucho Valdes (An engaging, expansive mood piece for the piano.)
- Revelation Road-Shelby Lynne (Lyrically strong and downcast.)
