- Our New Blood-Anders Parker (A promising look at the future; Parker's thoughtful vocals are set to a waltzing guitar and violin backdrop in this enjoyable acoustic number, released in April.)
- I Like To Hear It Sometimes-Ray Charles (Charles and his band sing and play these say-how-you-feel lyrics with their customary conviction and power.)
- My Flame-Bobby Caldwell (Caldwell expresses universal sentiments of longing in a smooth R&B groove. Caldwell is best known to many listeners for his strong hit, "What You Won't Do For Love." This slower, subtler track deserves its due, as well.)
- Summertime-Kenia (Check out Kenia's performance of this at The Zinc Bar on YouTube to hear her vocal prowess and the rhythm section's more-than-able support.)
- Chelsea-The 442s (Vigorously played strings, punctuated by whistling that brings to mind a segment of Neil Young's "Lotta Love," best known to many listeners through Nicolette Larson's version. It was great to hear this quartet of two Erin Bode Group members and two St. Louis Symphony musicians during morning drive time. Also strongly recommended: "Heston's.")
