- You Can Feel It-Young Gun Silver Fox (One of the easiest-on-the-ears tunes of 2016; I would have guessed it was a late '70s or early '80s hit. Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," America's "You Can Do Magic," and Real Estate's "Crime" would all flow smoothly into this tune.)
- A Walk In The Woods-Michelle Malone (This acoustic guitar instrumental is titled appropriately.)
- Early Morning Light-Sarah Jarosz (One of many vocal highlights from Jarosz's latest release, "Undercurrent.")
- If You Were There-The Isley Brothers (I'm not sure how I overlooked this uptempo gem of an album track from 1973. Smooth vocals mesh well with of-its-time instrumentation. The Stylistics could have pulled off a strong cover of it.)
- Lush Life-John Coltrane (Fourteen minutes of elegant, sax-led bliss. Coltrane's version with vocalist Johnny Hartman is also recommended.)
- A Trick Of The Tail-Genesis (This title track is from the band's first album with Phil Collins as lead singer. It's the band's best album, in my opinion, with no weak tracks and a general consistency in the writing. Also recommended: "Entangled," "Dance On A Volcano," "Squonk," and "Los Endos.")
- I'm Alive-Gamma (Robotic backing vocals give the tune an ELO feel, if Jeff Lynne had decided to emphasize the electric guitar instead of the keyboards.)
