The Bridge
- Finding Home-Tim Grimm And The Family Band (A moving acoustic number, with appropriately sensitive instrumentation and vocals. I'd be curious to hear Peter Mulvey or Ellis Paul sing this.)
- Spirit In The Sky-Norman Greenbaum (Few songs about transitioning into the afterlife have a melody this catchy. Oldies radio stations still play this, as a result.)
- When They Ring Those Golden Bells-Kim Collingsworth (A lush piano arrangement; Collingsworth's interpretation on the piano includes many sweeping flourishes. It could segue with Ferrante & Teicher's rendition of "Shenandoah.")
- Knock On Wood-Eddie Floyd (It's no surprise that this is one of the most frequently played R&B oldies. After all, you don't forget a hook that grabs you from the first note. In addition, the tune is a perfect marriage of brassy instrumentation and powerful vocals. It segues smoothly with Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour.")
- Want You Back-Haim (Although not quite on the same tier lyrically as the band's previous standouts, "Forever," "Falling," and "The Wire," it's a pleasure to hear new, catchy vocal harmonies from these three sisters. This single is from their "Something To Tell You" release, due out July 7.)
- Alone Again Or-Love (One of the most appealing, spirited odes to loneliness ever recorded and ideal for its era, the late '60s. Calexico and UFO recorded strong covers of it.)
- Under The Sun-Michael Franks (An inviting tune about the appeal of getting away from it all.)
