As if I needed any more proof that time has flown, this is my 3,000th post for this blog. One of the most gratifying aspects of posting something new each day has been spotlighting an ever-increasing palette of artists, songs, and radio stations. In that spirit of continued discovery, here are seven of the better songs I've heard today from four radio stations I haven't featured before:
KHUH (Seattle, WA)
- Melody Inside Of The Madness-Luke Wallace (A solid hook about having hope in spite of the compromised aspects of our ecology.)
- Hidden Valley-Alexis Normand (Normand's pleasant voice blends well with the instrumentation in this thoughtful new single. Lyrically, this shows an appreciation for nature and the world's vastness.)
KRWV (Phoenix, AZ)
- Adonai-Charles Moorer & The Faithful Few (Sunny bass, guitar, flute, and vocal punctuation.)
- A Coastal Breeze-A. Ray Fuller (An aptly titled smooth jazz guitar number with a bounce.)
WKUF (Flint, MI)
- Call Me Home-Sasami (A vocally and lyrically impressive release from February. Lyrically, it's a good reminder that no matter how strong and constant one's desire for wanderlust is, it's reassuring to have a home base and a support system. The production gloss serves the tune well.)
WKYW (Keyser, WV)
- Buck Creek Gal-The Earls Of Leicester (Brisk, jaunty fiddling and banjo playing.)
- Over The Falls-Colleen Anderson & George Castelle (Endearing vocals and acoustic guitar. Lyrically, this reminds me somewhat of Nanci Griffith. This tune would have fit in well on KDHX's former folk music show, "Blue Highways.")
