Seven standout tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Havana Moon-Mike Zito featuring Sonny Landreth (The tasty wailing guitar licks alone are enough to make this a strong cover of a Chuck Berry song.)
- Afro KungFu Beat-Tony Allen (A compelling instrumental from an accomplished percussionist; it was released in 2014 but has a definite early '70s throwback vibe.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- C'est Le Funk-U-Nam (Ray Parker, Jr.'s "For Those Who Like To Groove" would sound great after this brassy jam.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- How Come You Never Go There?-Feist (An honest question in these lyrics about a relationship that doesn't work.)
- The Wrong Year-The Decemberists (Who doesn't want to synchronize events or opportunities with the time in which you want them to occur?)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- After Hours-Butch Miles (A sly, slinky showcase for drums, flute, and trumpet.)
- Stairway To The Stars-Rachael Price (As strong as Price is as the lead singer of Lake Street Dive, her vocals on standards are just as captivating.)
