KMPS (Seattle, WA)
- Landslide-Dixie Chicks (This is one of the most thoughtful Stevie Nicks-penned Fleetwood Mac tunes, and these three voices harmonize well on this cover.)
- The Sleeping Tune-Stanley Greenthal (A quiet instrumental that would segue with Jay Ungar & Molly Mason's "Thanksgiving Waltz" or Nickel Creek's "First And Last Waltz.")
- If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out-Cat Stevens (Upbeat lyrics remind us that we have more freedom of decision than we might think.)
- Person To Person (Live)-Average White Band (I'm pleased that KRFH reached back 40 years for this spirited concert recording. This is an ideal choice for a concert jam and must have been a blast to play during the soundcheck, for the singers and instrumentalists alike. It's also a pleasure to hear the players introduced.)
- Joy Waltz-Chester Thompson Trio (Piano, bass, and drums pull off this brisk rhythm from last year's "Simpler Times" release impressively. Also recommended: "Elation," which lives up to its name.)
- Quietude-Dorothy Ashby (Somehow, this artist escaped my notice until now. Ashby plays an elegant jazz harp, so I'm glad KUVO aired it. Also recommended: Ashby's version of "Round Midnight.")
- Blackbird/Bye Bye Blackbird-Sara Gazarek & Josh Nelson (Well-done intermingling between the Beatles classic and a standard from 1926. Nelson's piano compliments Gazarek's vocals effectively. For another strong collaboration, listen to Erin Bode's and Nelson's "All Again.")
