FM dial scan highlights CCXXI

Wednesday and Thursday highlights:

KDHX 88.1 FM

  • Sweet Stuff-Sylvia Robinson (The middle of the night is the right time for this tune that's fit for a Quiet Storm format.  This did well on the R&B chart in its time and should have been a pop hit, as well.) 
  • Seven Nation Army-Never Mind The Pan Pipes (Even as an instrumental, this White Stripes tune still retains all of the necessary tension and drama.) 

WSIE 88.7 FM

  • Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?-Janet Evra & Ptah Williams (Evra's voice shows just the right amount of warmth in this cover of the well-known Shirelles oldie.)
  • Groovin' High-Dizzy Gillespie (Strong call-and-response between instruments.  Seek out the excellent, concise version that has Charlie Parker and Gillespie.)

KCLC 89.1 FM

  • Thought I Was In Love-Cecilia Castleman (This June release has admirably forthright lyrics about the pitfalls of changing who you are for someone.)
