Online radio sampler highlights LXIX

Five noteworthy tracks heard today:

KQAL (Winona, MN)

• Ain't No Sunshine-New York Voices (Bill Withers still sings it best, but this is a respectable vocals-with-saxophone arrangement.)

WERS (Boston, MA)

• Motion Sickness-Phoebe Bridgers (Emotionally honest, somewhat hypnotic vocals make this one of 2017's winners.)

WFSK (Nashville, TN)

• Inseparable-Natalie Cole (The tune's warm sentiments bring Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.'s "Wonderful" to mind.)

WMBR (Cambridge, MA)

• 'B' Movie-Gil Scott-Heron (Sadly, the political observations Scott-Heron expressed in 1981 apply even more disturbingly today.)
• Brand New-Eddie Robinson (A life-affirming gospel/R&B tune from 1974.)
