Six Sunday standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Just Let It Snow-Lynn Miles (An appropriate way to acknowledge one's Winter blues.)
- Charlie Moore-Eliza Gilkyson (This thoughtful new release's lyrics show that being a recluse doesn't mean you aren't looking out for others' welfare.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Turn, Turn, Turn-Lori Williams (A pleasant, contemplative cover of the famous Byrds tune. I could imagine Cassandra Wilson singing this similarly.)
- You Gotta Know-Kait Dunton (Suitable lyrics for times when life feels like a weary slog.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Days Of Wine And Roses-Cassandra Wilson (This standard is ideal for an alto voice, especially Wilson's. The warm saxophone and rhythm section accompaniment enhances the vocals.)
- It Ain't Necessarily So-Herbie Hancock (Even if a listener doesn't recognize this as a Gershwin tune, it stands on its own. The assured rhythm section, which Hancock leads on piano, sells it convincingly.)
