Five ear-catching tunes I've heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- The Moonlight Song-Blaze Foley (Most songs with this type of folky guitar intro, sincere lyrics, and unassuming vocal delivery get my attention.)
- The Shape Of Things To Come-Slade (This is frequently the outlook of progressive teens and young adults. If I programmed an album rock station, I'd pair this with Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Pride Of Man," a lyrical warning to those who refuse to heed the warning Slade sings about here.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Walk In The Night-Jr. Walker & The All-Stars (This song presents a strong case for establishing a mood in F-sharp major. This impressive combo of shimmering saxophone, rhythm section, and vocal punctuation has 1971 stamped on it in the best way. It speaks to the quality of the "Moody Jr." album that a tune this strong was buried as the 9th of 10 tracks.)
- Baila-Janet Evra (The trumpet, piano, and drums set a compelling tone in their intro, and Evra delivers warm vocals, as usual.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Casanova-Levert (I've always liked the bounce in this 1987 hit's step.)
