FM dial scan highlights CCXIII

Five of the better songs I've heard in recent days:

KDHX 88.1 FM

  • Borrow Trouble-Feist ("One Evening" is still my favorite Feist song, but the lyrics of this new single should resonate for most listeners, at least occasionally.)
  • Tower Of Babel-Natalie Merchant ("Confused" is perhaps a too genteel way of putting it, but this new track accurately calls out how polarized our country is.)

WSIE 88.7 FM

  • Searching-Roy Ayers Ubiquity (A laid-back vocal groove with 1976-style trumpet punctuation.)
  • Brazilian Love Affair-George Duke (Well done vocals with a strong undercurrent of bass.)

KCLC 89.1 FM

  • After Midnight-Phoenix featuring Clairo (An appealingly energetic rhythm.  It's good to hear Clairo soften the vocals on this alternate version.)
