FM dial scan highlights CXLIX

Five impressive tunes heard today:

KDHX 88.1 FM

  • The Clock Won't Tick-Quantic & Eddie Roberts (A strong new brass/guitar vamp; I kept expecting the Rolling Stones to hijack the tune and go into "Jumpin' Jack Flash.")
  • Packin' Up-The Underbelly featuring Roxie Ray (An attention-getting showcase for flute and rhythm section.)

WSIE 88.7 FM

  • Back Together Again-Kim Scott (An energetic new flute melody that's ideal for a smooth jazz station's workday rotation.)
  • Back Here Again-Bluey (A laid-back groove for guitar and throbbing keyboard.)

KCLC 89.1 FM

  • Everybody's Lonely-Jukebox The Ghost (The vocals are reminiscent of Queen, and the piano underscoring early in the tune reminds me of John Cale's "Darling, I Need You.")
