Wednesday highlights:
KDTR (Florence, MT)
- Save It For Later-The English Beat (The band's catchiest track, rhythmically and vocally, in my opinion; Ivy's version of "Streets Of Your Town" sounds smooth after it.)
KTWH (Two Harbors, MN)
- On The Crosswalk-Yngvil Vatn Guttu (Jaunty trumpet and percussion; a jazzy, at times avant-garde, instrumental.)
WHOV (Hampton, VA)
- New York Times-Bobbi Humphrey (A compelling mix of Donald Byrd and Herbie Mann styles.)
WVVX (Providence, RI)
- I'm So Proud-The Impressions (This slow dance oldie from 1964 deserves more airplay today.)
- Release The Beast-Breakwater (As I wrote about Positive Force's "We Got The Funk," "Sometimes, it's enough for a tune to simply have a well-sustained groove." This 1980 dance track is a fun tune for a rhythm section player.)
