Six standout tunes heard today:
KBLU (Logan, UT)
- Moto-Highline Drifters (This joyous, festive track could segue with Rusted Root's "Send Me On My Way.")
KBRP (Bisbee, AZ)
- Journey To The Center Of The Mind-The Amboy Dukes (One of the best propulsive rock intros ever, lodged firmly in 1968 in the best possible way. A progressive rock station of its time could have used this as its newscast theme.)
WRTC (Hartford, CT)
- Zanzibar-Earth, Wind & Fire (Part fanciful jazz, part expansive R&B jam, vocally and instrumentally, from early in the group's career. The tune surpasses 13 minutes and never wears out its welcome.)
- The Best Things In Life Are Free-The Gene Harris Quartet (Elegant, uptempo piano jazz.)
WUNH (Durham, NH)
- Inside Outside-This Is The Kit (Kate Stables sings the memorable hook, "Call it out again," compellingly. This rhythmically and vocally strong release from 2023 is on my mental loop.)
- Hung The Moon-Cults (The spacey instrumental backing gives the lyrics about finding someone special additional gravity.)
