Six standout songs heard today:
KBAC (Santa Fe, NM)
- Nick Of Time-Lake Street Dive (Rachael Price's vocals nail the thoughtful, reflective vibe of one of Bonnie Raitt's best tunes. I recommend the YouTube video, "Lake Street Dive plays 'Nick Of Time' On a Boston Sidewalk." I regret not thinking of this cover when I compiled my Favorite music of 2022 countdown.)
- River Climber-Cloacas (This intriguing instrumental sounds simultaneously eerie and welcoming. It's a testament to acoustic instruments and whistling.)
KMJQ (Houston, TX)
- Before I Let Go-Maze featuring Frankie Beverly (An enjoyable 1981 groove with a lyrically honest way of asking, "We have such a strong connection, so why are we splitting up?")
KSDS (San Diego, CA)
- Morning Star-Connie Han (Warm tenor sax tone and impressive piano playing fit for rainy day listening.)
WBTV (Burlington, VT)
- Young Blood-Rickie Lee Jones (One of several rhythmically appealing highlights from Jones's 1979 self-titled album. As this track and many others show, Jones has always had a way with octave leaps.)
WRIR (Richmond, VA)
- Alouatta Pigra-Eike Hosenfeld (Trundling through space? Let this instrumental underscore your walk.)
