KDHX 88.1 FM
- Where Do You Wanna Go?-Super Furry Animals (Bouncy, infectious power pop, right from the first note.)
- Blue World-The Moody Blues (It was good to hear this 1983 track I hadn't heard in a long time. Listeners who like Justin Hayward's vocals on "The Voice" should also enjoy this track. Eric Woolfson of The Alan Parsons Project could have done a credible cover of this.)
- Climbing Mountains-Meg Hutchinson (Well-written and sung. It's a good sign when you hear a tune and say, "I'd like to hear more by this artist." I hear elements of Beth Orton in her vocals.)
- Feels Like Rain-Buddy Guy (It was a pleasant surprise to hear Guy's reflective vocals on one of my favorite blues tunes last week. I enjoyed playing this on KCOU when the CD was new.)
- A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square-The Manhattan Transfer (One of the classiest ways to say, "What a night it was when we met." No version of it gets a lot of radio airplay these days, so it was another pleasant surprise to hear it.)
- I'll Write A Song For You-Regina Carter (An enjoyable violin rendition of an Earth, Wind & Fire tune that should have been a hit.)
- Try Try Try-Rachael Sage (Appealingly breathy vocals; at times, Sage sings at the top of her range, bringing to mind Sara Watkins on Nickel Creek's "Best Of Luck." Add a clap-along beat and appealing violin backing, and you've got a winner of a tune.)
