Sunday night standouts:
Bluegrass Junction
- Where I Am-Chris Jones & The Night Drivers (Infectious pickin' on this uptempo instrumental; Nickel Creek's "Ode To A Butterfly" would sound great after this.)
- The World Tonight (Rough Mix)-Paul McCartney (An enjoyable version that brings out the acoustic guitar and more freewheeling vocals. "Things We Said Today" would sound smooth before or after this.)
- Teach Me Tonight-Beegie Adair (A classy piano arrangement of this much-covered tune.)
- Winter Wonderland-Chris McDonald Orchestra (A swingin' big band rendition and a trumpeter's showcase.)
- Joy To The World-Diana Ross & The Supremes (The joy is readily apparent in the vocals--and the tempo; this is one of the fastest renditions I've heard.)
Real Jazz
- Mr. Dayimani-McCoy Mrubata (An inviting big band arrangement, with impressive harmony in the brass section.)
Soul Town
- I Feel So Bad-Little Milton (This tune about a relationship's demise sports a catchy blues feel.)
Tom Petty Radio
- Ridgetop-Jesse Colin Young (An appreciative ode to the natural beauty and solitude of one's surroundings. In my opinion, this was one of the best album rock additions to KNJZ's playlist in its waning months.)
