SiriusXM highlights LXXXII

Noteworthy tunes heard today:

'40s Junction
  • Lullaby In Rhythm-Charlie Ventura (Impressive vocals for fans of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.  Also recommended: "Euphoria.")
The Beatles Channel
  • For You Blue-Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son stays true to the galloping spirit of the original version.) 
Chill
  • Lost In Space-Emmit Fenn (Vocally, "Lost In Space" reminds me of Jack Johnson and Bon Iver.)
Deep Tracks
  • Green Grass And High Tides-The Outlaws (A fine slice of inspired album rock from 1975; I'd like to think that in Heaven, people get to see all of the best musicians perform.)
Enlighten
  • Sustaining Grace-Karen Peck & New River (The sincerity of Peck's vocals underscore the tune's message about being stronger than we sometimes think we are.)
Heart & Soul
  • Strength, Courage & Wisdom-India Arie (Inspiring lyrics about staying true to yourself.)
Real Jazz
  • Peace-Horace Silver (Powerful vocals from Andy Bey and warm keyboard underpinning from Silver.  Norah Jones covered it exceptionally well.)
