Six standout tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Shadow Of A Memory-Minnie Jones And The Minuettes (Although the relationship in the song ends, this 1970 R&B song has a happy-go-lucky optimism that would sound great before the more positive, exuberant lyrics and vocals of Natalie Cole's "This Will Be.")
- Avalanche-Aimee Mann (Mann's voice is ideal for pulling off a dramatic cover of this Leonard Cohen song.)
- Ocean Moon-The Foreign Films (I was predisposed to like this midtempo power pop release from March; its idealistic lyrics, instrumentation, and backing vocals with a mid '60s feel are all positive attributes.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Day In, Day Out-Carolbeth True Trio (An expansive, spirited, cookin' instrumental rendition of this standard, thanks in no small part to True's piano playing.)
- Perfect Sunday-Carol Albert featuring Paul Brown (A panoramic soundscape for piano and guitar, fit for a film score.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Sorry Is Gone-Jessica Lea Mayfield (It's always a plus when a song reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," especially in the chorus.)
