Recommended tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Back Roads (Live)-Kate Wolf (One of Wolf's most endearing songs about taking in the details of what life offers you. Wolf sang it just as compellingly live as she did in the studio. Initially, the guitar chords made me think of Jim Croce's "Operator.")
- Calling Me Home-Sara Storer (Well-sung downcast lyrics. Occasionally, it's interesting to contemplate who else has lived where you have and how different their lives were from yours.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Face To Face-Chris Standring (Uptempo smooth jazz guitar with instruments around the periphery making the tune throb.)
- Spirit Of The West-Yellowjackets (A well-sustained fast melody. The piano underpins the saxophone melody appealingly.)
- I Don't Mind-Maysa (I second the DJ's fandom of Maysa's voice. This January release could segue with her standout track, "Friendly Pressure.")
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Clairvoyant-Jeremy Pelt (Pelt plays trumpet with a tone reminiscent of Miles Davis. The bass, saxophone, and piano solos are impressive, as well. Also recommended: "I Can't Escape From You," a sublime ballad that's one of the best songs I've heard so far in 2023.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Two Hangmen-Mason Proffit (An anthem for anyone who is persecuted despite being on the humane side of an issue. Also recommended: "It's All Right" and "Let Me Know Where You're Going.")
- Bad Weather-Poco (Slide guitar underscores these honest lyrics about a relationship going south effectively.)
