Five standout tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Hot 'n' Cold-Albert Collins ("Truckin' With Albert Collins" was the blues album from which I played the most tracks on KCOU, and this walking melody for guitar and sax was one reason why.)
- Alberta Bound-Gordon Lightfoot (If you've got a reason to take to the road, this is good driving music. I've segued it on a mix CD with Jim Croce's "Big Wheel.")
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Gentle Samba-Carolbeth True (A pleasant, energetic, accessible melody for piano, bass, and drums; it's yet another example of why True's music deserves more acclaim outside of St. Louis.)
- Good Morning Heartache-Chris Botti featuring Jill Scott (Laura Fygi's breathy version, which KNJZ used to play, is still my favorite. Botti, however, creates a sly, foggy atmosphere on trumpet, which suits Scott's vocals well.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Scare Away The Dark-Passenger (A fair acknowledgment of how much time people spend behind computer screens today.)
