KUNV (Las Vegas, NV)
- September-Earth, Wind & Fire (Possibly the group's most infectious hit, with excellent use of horns, powerful vocals, and a great sing-along chorus. It's one of the most upbeat songs about nostalgia ever recorded.)
- Soul Caravan-The Crusaders (Larry Carlton shines on electric guitar in one of many stellar grooves from the "Chain Reaction" album.)
- Compton Strut (Live)-Dynamo (I hear a definite Crusaders influence in this refreshing breeze of a tune; there's excellent synergy between the piano and horns in this uptempo number. One of the best compliments I can give a song is that I'm scheming to find a place for it in my favorite songs of 2019 countdown--even though it was released five years ago.)
- Singer's No Star-Waxahatchee (Vocally and instrumentally, this is an ideal middle-of-the-night track for a freeform college station; Aimee Mann's "Wise Up" would work on either side of it.)
- True Blue-Calvin Owens (This is ideal walk-on music for a respected blues artist; the horn arrangement sounds like it should have an emcee announcing over it, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to an evening of no-holds-barred trumpet sounds from Calvin Owens!")
