Five standout tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- The King's Fool-Siobhan O'Brien (A slow folk-rock number, rockier than what I usually hear on "Folks Of The World." The tremolo in O'Brien's vocals serves the tune well; it's a bit of a stretch, but this could segue with Vanilla Fudge's "You Keep Me Hangin' On.")
- Cornish March-Saor Patrol (The rhythm of the percussion intro made me think I was about to hear an international cover of Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'." Then, the bagpipes came in.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Picture This-Billy Taylor (An easy-on-the-ears, Cuban-melody-influenced, percolating piano number.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- You Wreck Me-Tom Petty ("A Higher Place" is still my favorite track from the "Wildflowers" album, but the screaming guitar and driving beat of "You Wreck Me" are appealing and would segue well after Petty's "Runnin' Down A Dream.")
- I Am The Mercury-Jimmie Spheeris (Idealistic prog rock lyrics, sung with sincerity; listen for the yelp of exultation about the rain late in the tune.)
