Noteworthy tunes heard yesterday:
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Western Rebellion-Eric Reed (Cookin' uptempo piano.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Light Shine-Jesse Colin Young (This version was released in 1974, but the lyrics have a refreshing late '60s idealistic vibe.)
- On The Loose-Saga (Arena rock fit for revving up an audience. I've always thought that the intro primes listeners well for the theatrical vocals.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- W.O.W. (Walk On Water)-Lena Byrd Miles (A strong lyrical motivator for powering through challenging times.)
KLOU 103.3 FM
- Out Of Touch-Daryl Hall & John Oates (KLOU played "American Top 40"'s 1985 year-end countdown Sunday. In retrospect, there were some scattered gems, but '85 wasn't the best year for pop music. "Out Of Touch," the sixth most popular song of the year, however, holds up. Of all the Hall & Oates hits, it has one of the most ear-catching instrumental buildups to the vocals and one of the best choruses.)
