- Peace In The Valley-Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers (A plea for peace was the theme of today's "Steam-Powered Radio" show, and host Kelly chose many songs appropriate for this current tumultuous time. One set of excellent vocal harmonies deserves another, so I'd recommend playing The Harmonizing Four's "Lift Every Voice And Sing" before this.)
- I Only Cry When I'm Alone-Beth Bombara (There's a steady consistency in this local singer-songwriter's work. Bombara sings this with just the right amount of pathos, and its groove reminds me of "Upside Down," another song of hers from last year that almost cracked my favorite-music-of-the-year countdown.)
- Spice Of Life-The Manhattan Transfer (This is how you set the scene for an evening on the town.)
- Save It For Me-Sunnie Paxson (J. Thompson's "Tell Me The Truth" would sound great after this slick keyboard groove.)
- One Day She's Here-Marcus King (One of the tune's recurring riffs reminds me of Sly & The Family Stone's "Sing A Simple Song." Vocally and instrumentally, this is a good example of rock with R&B influences...)
- 4 American Dollars-U.S. Girls (...as is this current track. KCLC was wise to segue them.)
