Early Thursday morning highlights:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Satet Rock-The Drastics (This instrumental is a well-blended fusion of jazz and ska. The organ, saxophone, and percussion coalesce compellingly.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Listen Here-Eric Reed (Propulsive piano reminiscent of 1960s Ramsey Lewis.)
- Floating On Life-Janet Evra (Inviting, appropriately floating vocals and instrumentation from last year's excellent release, "Hello Indie Bossa.")
KCLC 89.1 FM
- It's Alright-Cecilia Castleman (An encouraging tune about following one's own path. Rhythmically, "Still The One" by Orleans would sound right after this.)
KPNT 105.7 FM
- This Is Why-Paramore (This title track from the band's forthcoming February 10 release establishes a commanding groove from the first note. In addition to a tight, catchy chorus, the lyrics make a convincing case for being a recluse who mostly abstains from social media.)
