Five recommended selections heard this morning:
KRCL (Salt Lake City, UT)
- Introduction-Nick Drake (A warm, classy start to the morning, with orchestral strings. This is from my favorite album of Drake's, "Bryter Layter." Also recommended: "At The Chime Of A City Clock" and "One Of These Things First.")
- A Way Around-Kim Richey (This 2024 track has an appealing 1975-'77-era Fleetwood Mac feel in its vocals and instrumentation.)
KUNV (Las Vegas, NV)
- Soul Serenade-Patches Stewart (A relaxed smooth jazz trumpet melody. This goes-down-easy groove was released in February.)
WQXR (Newark, NJ)
- Felix Mendelssohn: Pieces For String Quartet, Op. 81: Variations And Scherzo (The Eroica Quartet) (A nice contrast between an expressive, unhurried melody and one necessitating nimble dexterity from its players.)
WZVN (Lowell, IN)
- I Got You-Split Enz (Not just any band could pull off a chorus like "I don't know why sometimes I get frightened...," and make it this tuneful.)
