Five Thursday highlights:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Birds-Linda Ronstadt (Sensitively written. Sensitively--and powerfully--sung. It was good to hear this underplayed 1971 track this morning.)
- Why Not?-Kiefer (A cool new jazz/funk instrumental with a steady keyboard melody and prominent bass. This groove sounds extracted from the '70s; there's an appealing blend of George Duke and Chick Corea styles.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Heart To Heart-Kenny Loggins (I've rarely heard this tune on the radio outside of the time it was a hit. It sounds very of its time--late 1982, early '83--but in a good way. Lyrically and vocally, it was one of the stronger adult contemporary gems of its time. I'm glad that there's a place for it on WSIE.)
- Hypnotized-Fleetwood Mac (I'm also glad that this eerie melody fits into WSIE's playlist, as well. This was the spookiest tune Fleetwood Mac ever recorded, and it was one of Bob Welch's lasting contributions to the band.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Our Love-Natalie Cole (An endearing ballad for any era.)
