Caribbean Vintage Vibes
- Nassau Night-Delbon Johnson (Any instrumental that blends the best elements of Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, and the tropics this way deserves an appreciative audience.)
- Etta's Tune-Rosanne Cash (It's reassuring to know there's always at least one person on whom you can depend. Cash's warm voice sings Etta's story compellingly.)
- Is It Like Today?-Eliza Gilkyson (A heartfelt version of the World Party song, with thought-provoking lyrics about the positive and negative contributions humans make to this planet.)
- Ballad For Kay-Acoustic Alchemy (With its airy production values, this instrumental would segue well with Nickel Creek's "First And Last Waltz.")
- Because The Night-Patti Smith Group (Natalie Merchant's excellent version usually gets more airplay, but Smith's original version deserves its due; these are compelling lyrics about how one person's charisma affects someone else, and how they click, as result.)
- The Man-Aloe Blacc (Strongly sung lyrics about facing the world with confidence, even when life hasn't dealt you the best hand.)
- And On This Day-Patrick Canavan (What one might sing or hum while floating in space...)
