FM dial scan highlights CXV

Tuesday morning standouts:

KDHX 88.1 FM
  • Reel Medley: The Four-Faced Liar/Baggett St./The Witches' Kitchen-Peter Ostroushko (This spirited fiddling segues well with today's WSIE selection.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
  • Move, Move, Move-Flying Horse Big Band (This energetic, organ-propelled instrumental would flow well with "El Nino" by The Sound Stylistics.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
  • Babylon-David Gray (Pop music could use more thoughtfully written and sung tunes like this.  Gray pulls off the hat trick of being cerebral, heartfelt, and tuneful here.)
WSDZ 95.1 FM
  • You Love Me (Best Of My Love)-Anita Wilson (Wilson turns the rhythm of a catchy hit by The Emotions into her backdrop for thanking God.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. KNOU-HD2
  • This Present Past 2, Sheldon Blues (Live At The Sheldon)-Peter Martin (If this is the caliber of  infectious piano-based jazz listeners can expect from Martin, I see why his albums have earned rave reviews, and I wish I'd seen this concert.)
