- Stewball-Peter, Paul & Mary (A favorite ode to one fast racehorse. Most listeners should recognize the melody, as it was used later in "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.)
- Next To You-The Carpettes (Universal power pop-style lyrics, with blistering guitar accompaniment.)
- Curacao (Live)-Janice Friedman Trio (Friedman anchors this swirling, uptempo number effectively on the piano; it's one of 2015's stronger jazz tracks.)
- Yearning For Your Love-The Gap Band (This is how you write and sing from the heart. The in-no-rush instrumental intro sets the tone perfectly. The vocals are sung with exactly the right amount of feeling and no over-the-top theatrics.)
- Lemon Eyes-Meg Myers (Forcefully sung and produced so it leaps out of the speakers and brings Haim's music to mind.)
- Jump Right In-The Urge (This was the song that garnered this St. Louis band national success. If you like the feel of it, check out the second half of the band's earlier release, "Puttin' The Backbone Back," to get a full scope of The Urge's range.)
