Five standout songs heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Your Side-The Beths (The lyrics convey emotionally honest longing for someone, and this is catchy power pop, as well. If I'd heard this song before today, it would have placed in my favorite-music-of-2022 countdown.)
- I Don't Want To Discuss It-Delaney & Bonnie (There's an infectious Ike & Tina Turner-style energy in this track.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Winter Wonderland-Jack McDuff (A pleasant, unhurried version for organ and guitar.)
- Frosty The Snowman-Marcus Roberts Trio (This might be the best jazz version of this I've heard; Roberts strikes just the right light touch on the piano. In fact, "Celebrating Christmas" is one of the most consistent Christmas jazz CDs I've heard.)
KEZK 102.5 FM
- It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas-Bing Crosby (If a voice this authoritative says it looks a lot like Christmas, I'm not questioning that it does. Besides, I've seen no shortage of evidence around town.)
