Eight ear-catching tunes heard today:
KCMP (St. Paul, MN)
- Easy For You-Anna Graves (This March release has perceptive lyrics about the tunnel vision that sometimes accompanies relationships.)
KKJZ (Long Beach, CA)
- It's Easy To Remember-John Coltrane (Warm, bright saxophone tone and an equally tasteful, supportive rhythm section. The piano outro dovetails smoothly into...)
- If You Could See Me Now-Chet Baker (...this sublime piano intro and welcoming, resonant trumpet melody.)
KRDP (Apache Junction, AZ)
- Hit It-BK Trio (A cool straight ahead guitar-and-organ jazz instrumental with an appealing bounce.)
WXYG (Sauk Rapids, MN)
- Colorado Song-Ozark Mountain Daredevils (This tune about going back to Colorado says only what it needs to say lyrically. The guitar and backing vocals sustain the last three minutes of the tune impressively.)
WYTX (Rock Hill, SC)
- It's Gonna Get Better-Genesis (This somewhat overlooked track from the band's self-titled album admits that a healing path is sometimes a long one. Nevertheless, the lyrics are still encouraging.)
WZBT (Gettysburg, PA)
- Trust-Ane Brun (Brun's breathy soprano vocals serve the lyrics effectively in this 2020 release. WZBT segued this appropriately with "Unfold" by Melody's Echo Chamber, which also has intriguing soprano vocals.)
- Stay-Esther Rose (Rose's endearing vocals and guitar playing in this April release have a folky charm.)
