SiriusXM highlights LVIII

Saturday morning highlights:

'60s On 6 
  • I Fought The Law-Bobby Fuller Four (When I mentioned this song in college, a friend asked, "Is that the song where he sings, 'I fought the law, and the law won,' about a hundred times?" Yes, but it's a tightly constructed oldie with a memorable hook.)
The Coffee House
  • Boat Behind-Kings Of Convenience (Low-fi acoustic charm in the vocals and guitar.  Also recommended: "Misread.")
Jam_On
  • In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed-Big Something (Exclusive) (A strong cover of a great Allman Brothers Band instrumental; it's interesting to hear a saxophone added to the mix.)
The Loft
  • No Myth-Michael Penn (A good sing-along track that any station with an AAA format would be wise to play.  Also recommended: "This & That.")
  • Watch Your Step-Elvis Costello & The Attractions (An ominous warning juxtaposed with carousel-style backing.)
Siriusly Sinatra
  • Pick Yourself Up-Wesla Whitfield (A well-sung version of the tune with a "Put On A Happy Face" vibe.)
Watercolors
  • I Am-Kayla Waters (A well-sustained, pleasant keyboard instrumental.)
