FM dial scan highlights CLVIII

Six ear-catching tunes heard today:

KDHX 88.1 FM

  • Loving You Is On My Mind-The Meters (You can pick any song by The Meters, and you'll hear the same great consistency in the rhythm section.  I can imagine this tune being cross-faded smoothly with Steely Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number.")
  • The Spy With A Cold Nose-Les & Larry Elgart (A big band/lounge number fit for a stroll; I would have played this on WEW if I'd known this tune 25 years ago.)
  • Changing Horses-Dan Fogelberg (Sensitively written, played, and sung; I miss this adult contemporary sound of the '70s.  Also recommended: "Part Of The Plan" and "Illinois.")

WSIE 88.7 FM

  • Sunday Drive-Brock Walker (An appropriately titled midtempo piano groove.)
  • Only You-Lindsey Webster (Vocals fit for a late-night Quiet Storm format.)

KPNT 105.7 FM

  • The Underground-Meg Myers (This is how Shawn Colvin's "Nothin' On Me" might sound with darker lyrics and heavier guitar.)
