Seven standout tunes heard today:
KMJI (Texarkana, AR)
- Lifetime-Maxwell (An easy-to-digest slow jam.)
KPUP (Patagonia, AZ)
- When You Say Nothing At All-Alison Krauss & Union Station (Heartfelt lyrics about how reassuring it is to know that your beloved has your back--without any words exchanged.)
- Just Blue-The Weepies (Somehow, the guitar underpinning offers a ray of hope. Lyrically, this is a sound way to acknowledge one's sadness over a breakup without sounding completely unable to recover.)
WCLK (Atlanta, GA)
- The Distance-Kerry Wilkins (Continuous smooth jazz guitar playing with appealing bursts of overlaid bass.)
- Murky Moon-Kayla Waters (Pleasant, uptempo smooth jazz piano playing. Fattburger's "Good News" sounds compatible to me after this.)
WXYG (Sauk Rapids, MN)
- Watching And Waiting-The Moody Blues (An honest acknowledgment that even at our most misanthropic, we still crave at least occasional human connections.)
- You're So Vain-Carly Simon (More than 50 years later, these are still some of the cleverest lyrics about wishing people would get over themselves.)
