Sunday and Monday highlights:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- You=Goosebumps-Erik Buschmann (This July release is one of 2022's stronger electronica tracks. The simulated waterfall glissando and propulsive driving groove hold up for the song's duration.)
- Sit Back-Riarosa (This January release conjures up the feeling of falling through space against a dreamy backdrop of vocals and shredding guitar.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- High Up On The Hook-Alice Russell (A hypnotic rhythm section sustains a compelling beat for a long while as Russell sings. I'd be curious to hear Madeleine Peyroux or Nellie McKay cover it. It's not the most obvious suggestion, but Van Morrison's "Blue Money" would flow well into this.)
- Tin Man-J.S. Floyd (This June release is a pleasant smooth jazz, guitar-dominated cover of the soft rock hit by America. Hearing it in this context makes me realize how well the Seals & Crofts hit, "Summer Breeze," segues with America's "Tin Man" and how much J.S. Floyd's rendition of "Tin Man" segues with Bobby Broom's "Summer Breeze" cover.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Gypsy In My Soul (Live)-Mary Stallings (There's a bounce to this much-covered tune I've liked since first playing Melissa Manchester's version on WEW. The vocals here honor the tune, as well, and have strong piano underscoring.)
