SiriusXM highlights CLVII

Eight standout tunes heard today:

'40s Junction 

  • Put Another Chair At The Table-The Mills Brothers (A classy way to welcome someone home.)

Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals

  • Place In The Sun-Lennie Rhoads/Fin Moon (Bittersweet, contemplative guitar.)

Classic Folk

  • Talk To Me Of Mendocino-Kate McGarrigle/Anna McGarrigle (An acknowledgment that even if you long to trade a chaotic setting for a peaceful one, you might miss the chaos now and then.) 

The Coffee House

  • Love You For A Long Time-Maggie Rogers ("Light On" has been my favorite Rogers tune for several years, but with a hook this solid, "...Long Time" is a close second choice.)

Lo-Fi Cafe 

  • DD.019-J Dilla (A relatively brief, flute-propelled beat.)

Real Jazz

  • B's River-Marcus Miller (Uptempo, melancholy bass.  The piano and trumpet are key to the tune's ambience.)

The Village 

  • Passing Through-Catie Curtis (Although we can't control other people, we can at least set a good example for those we influence.)
  • Soul Companion-Mary Chapin Carpenter featuring James Taylor (A comforting way of saying, "There's someone for everyone.")
