Online radio sampler highlights LXXXII

Ear-catching tunes heard yesterday:

KEBF (Morro Bay, CA)

• Gambia-Sona Jobarteh (I'm pretty sure this is the first song I've highlighted that features the kora, a lute-like instrument that, according to the DJ, was made from a gourd.  Instrumentally and vocally, this is a memorable melody.)

KXT (Dallas, TX)

• Move-Milo Greene (Mysterious, breathy vocals; lyrically, this haunting new track could segue with Karla Bonoff's "Somebody's Eyes" or Snow Patrol's "Shut Your Eyes.")

WAER (Syracuse, NY)

•  Whisper Not-George Shearing (Sly piano and vibraphone.)

WFDU (Teaneck, NJ)

• D.W. Washburn-The Monkees (Not your typical Monkees hit; this is a quirky pick-me-up tune for hard times.  "Godspell"'s "Turn Back, O Man" sounds partially inspired by this track.)

WREK (Atlanta, GA)

• Callyx-Robert Rich (Need instrumental underscoring for exploring a cave or pursuing a suspect on a street late at night?  This is your soundtrack.)
