Six noteworthy tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- De Camino a la Vereda-Buena Vista Social Club (Upbeat, festive vocals with spirited trumpet, guitar, and percussion accompaniment.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Sunny-Wes Montgomery (Bobby Hebb's hit, which some oldies stations still play, works just as effectively as a guitar instrumental.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Charity Ball-Fanny (Uptempo, assertive blues-rock vocals and guitar. The feel of this 1971 track reminds me of Big Star's "Don't Lie To Me.")
KWUR 90.3 FM
- Nostalgia's Lie-Sam Fender (Sometimes, it's hard to admit that you're looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. This well-structured February release cops to that lyrically.)
- Looks Like The End Of The Road-Alison Krauss & Union Station (This release from last month is on par lyrically and vocally with Krauss's other sorrowful tracks. Krauss is one of the most consistent artists I've heard from album to album and has a way with melancholy sentiments.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Bitterblue-Cat Stevens (Lyrically, this is a sound way of acknowledging that life can make you less idealistic. "Calling All Friends" by Low Stars would sound appropriate before this.)
