Eight recommended selections heard this morning:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- The Old Laughing Lady-Neil Young (A metaphor for being too far down a self-destructive path.)
- That Kind Of Life-Michigan Rattlers (This track, released in May, offers a sobering dose of reality in its lyrics. Vocally, this strikes me as an approximation of how Gin Blossoms might have sounded with a folk rock/country bent.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- On The Hill-Oliver Sain (Wailing melancholy saxophone for when one feels blue.)
- Treasure-The New Mastersounds (Energetic guitar and keyboard. Acoustic Alchemy's "Wish You Were Near" would sound right after this.)
- Gypsy In Me-Bonnie Raitt (Forthright vocals and guitar suit these lyrics about wanderlust well.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Not As We-Alanis Morissette (Endearingly honest lyrics about feeling vulnerable and chagrined when making a fresh start you hadn't anticipated.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Time Will Reveal-DeBarge (A graceful, heartfelt way of saying, "Trust me. We're right for each other, and I won't let you down." This slow jam holds up 38 years after its release.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Ottorino Respighi: Ancient Airs And Dances, Suite No. 2: IV. Bergamasca (Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra/Sir Neville Marriner, conductor) (A beguiling, upbeat movement for strings, harp, and winds.)
