KGNU (Boulder, CO)
- Swing Angel-Benny Goodman (Goodman and company swing and sway. Goodman sets the tone on clarinet, and his band wails within the confines of good taste, as usual.)
- The Deep Horizon-3@Sea (Exploring the realm of a distant galaxy with a bit of trepidation? Here's your underscoring.)
- The Message-Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas & Rob Ickes (How often do you hear a trio of dobros? A fine instrumental for fans of Bela Fleck's style of playing.)
- The Panther-East Bay Soul Brass (If the vibe of Cliff Nobles & Co.'s "The Horse" appeals to you, this instrumental likely will, too. The Electric Flag's "Soul Searchin'" also came to mind as I listened. If ever there were a tune that was meant to be a theme song...)
- Need All The Help I Can Get-Suzi Jane Hokom (I've cited the cover by The Cleopatras previously, so it was fun to hear the garage band ethos of the original version from 1966.)
- Trials And Tribulations-Walter "Wolfman" Washington (Brassy instrumentation and forthright vocals serve the tune well. I'd be curious to hear Tower Of Power cover it.)
