SiriusXM highlights CVII

Friday and Saturday highlights:

The Bridge
  • Hey Tomorrow-Jim Croce (Lyrically, Croce's resolution to make the best of his time is a good companion piece to Rosanne Cash's "Not Many Miles To Go," reviewed in the Outlaw Country section.)
Chill
  • Novice Juggler-Joey Pecoraro (Midtempo techno with a tropical flavor.)
Escape
  • Right Back Where We Started From-Starborne Strings/Arthur Greenslade, director (The Maxine Nightingale hit, slowed down and reinterpreted as a sunny easy listening shuffle.)
Margaritaville
  • Wonderful World, Beautiful People-Jimmy Cliff (Idealistic lyrics about a striving for a harmonious world, undercut with a dose of reality.)
Outlaw Country
  • Not Many Miles To Go-Rosanne Cash (Lyrics about appreciating the positive aspects of one's life while realizing that there's only so much time left.) 
Real Jazz
  • Nutville-Horace Silver (This would be excellent percussion underscoring for a movie's chase scenes.  If Povo's "The Art Of Blakey" appeals to you, this likely will, too.)
  • Silver's Serenade-Poncho Sanchez (Simmering synchronicity in the horns, piano, and percussion.)
