Friday's standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Crimson And Clover-Pom Pom Squad (If you're in the mood for this Tommy James & The Shondells hit recast with an indie rock bent and heavy guitars, this is for you.)
- Coffee & TV-Blur (A catchy rhythm underscores a fair case for being selectively sociable.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Tuesday Night Squad-Soulive (This ensemble has a way with jazzy, organ-anchored instrumentals. Even after seven minutes and change, I was eager for this groove to continue.)
- Summer Daze-Paula Atherton (Pleasant, uptempo, smooth sax jazz released three weeks ago.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Franz Joseph Haydn: Keyboard Concerto No. 11 in D major: III. Rondo all'Ungarese (Academy Of St. Martin In The Fields/Neville Marriner, conductor; George Malcolm, harpsichord) (A rousing steeplechase brings this concerto to a satisfying conclusion.)
- Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43: I. Allegretto (BBC Symphony Orchestra/Sir Thomas Beecham, conductor) (The first movement of this symphony covers considerable ground, ranging from suggesting a lush, pastoral landscape to gripping tenseness to explosive joy.)
