Five standout tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Some Days Are Honey-Lori McKenna (The attitude in the lyrics reminds me of John Denver's "Some Days Are Diamonds (Some Days Are Stone.)" It's an honest acknowledgment that being with someone is sometimes great but also challenging.)
- Born To Be Lonely-The Lemon Twigs (Lyrically, this strikes me as a more passive version of Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am A Rock.")
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Only A Fool Would Say That-Steely Dan (This is one of the more overlooked tracks on the "Can't Buy A Thrill" album. It's a direct way of saying, "Stop being so idealistic," set to a compelling rhythm.)
- Naima-Feyza Eren (Yet another example of Eren's strong vocals. Also recommended: Eren's impressive cover of the Miles Davis classic, "All Blues.")
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Turn Back The Hands Of Time-Tyrone Davis (I usually let this 1970 oldie play out when I hear it on the radio, as its universal lyrics about regrets are appropriate in any era.)
