Sunday standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Footprints-Farshid Etniko (This compelling guitar-anchored instrumental is equally at home in international and smooth jazz formats.)
- African Dream-Wasis Diop featuring Lena Fiagbe (Reassuring guitar underscores well-sung lyrics about the uncertainty of life and planning for the future.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Cry Me A River-Cheryl Bentyne (I'm not surprised that a Manhattan Transfer member would sing this with just the right emotional depth.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- How Deep It Goes-Heart (These sensitively written and sung lyrics about wondering if a relationship is salvageable deserved more acclaim in 1975.)
- Oh Very Young-Cat Stevens (It speaks well of 1974's album rock scene that there was a place for this song. How could listeners not respect the thoughtfulness that Stevens conveys regarding the fleeting passage of time?)
