Wednesday morning highlights:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Summer Dream-Bonny Light Horseman (Vocally and instrumentally, this is one of 2022's more pleasant indie rock releases. The harmonica enhances the laid-back vocals and refreshingly honest lyrics about missing someone.)
- Fire On The Mountain-The Bucking Mules (This peppy fiddle and banjo number makes a convincing case for the return of square dancing.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Happy Times-Freddie Hubbard (This trumpet-dominated melody doesn't skimp on the joy and has an appealingly definite ending. "Lust For Life" by Sonny Rollins sounds right to me before this.)
- Crazy For You-Earl Klugh (For over four decades, Klugh has excelled in this type of breezy guitar hook; it's no wonder this was the title track from his 1981 album. If you seek more gripping intensity, check out "The Rainmaker," another "Crazy For You" standout.)
- I Was Neon-Julia Jacklin (A catchy reminder not to compromise who you are, set to a beat that reminds me of the Genesis tune, "Abacab.")
