Five distinctly different standout tracks heard today:
KBCU (North Newton, KS)
- Lockwood-Adam Steffey (This uptempo mandolin bluegrass instrumental sounds compatible with "Jefferson" by Sara Watkins.)
KRUI (Iowa City, IA)
- The Sandman, The Brakeman, And Me-Monsters Of Folk (An appealing lo-fi track, with appropriately airy production; riding a train should always feel this idealistic.)
KUSF (San Francisco, CA)
- Sad Day-FKA Twigs (A beguiling approximation of how Kate Bush might sound with contemporary techno accompaniment.)
WBGO (Newark, NJ)
- You Know You Want To Be Loved-Keith Barrow (An ideal track for a Quiet Storm format; Greenflow's "I Got'cha" sounds right before it, and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love" flows well after it.)
WREK (Atlanta, GA)
- Autumn's Gift-Tom June (A life-affirming piano instrumental; the Genesis (Steve Hackett) track, "Horizons," works as a prelude for it.)
