Online radio sampler highlights CXXVII

Six tunes heard tonight that are worthy of a spotlight:

KAFM (Grand Junction, CO)

  • Gillian's Reel/Charles Sutherland/Donald Stewart The Piper (featuring Violet Tulloch)-Aly Bain (Spirited Scottish fiddling.)

WAER-HD2 (Syracuse, NY)

  • Imagination-Joe Williams (Sincerely sung lyrics about unlikely-to-be-fulfilled longing.)
  • We Will Meet Again-Herbie Mann (A great, sensitively played guitar intro leads into Mann's flute playing.)

WERS (Boston, MA)

  • Wild Horses-The Sundays (Harriet Wheeler's vocals float over the instrumentation in this cover of a Rolling Stones tune, giving it an ethereal feel.)

WOMM (Burlington, VT)

  • Effie's Song-Jennings & McComber (Heartfelt lyrics, vocals, and acoustic pickin'.  This reminds me of Troubadours Of Divine Bliss.)

WSUM (Madison, WI)

  • On-Kelly Lee Owens (Strong techno pop; appealingly breathy vocals over a hypnotic beat.)
