Five of the stronger tunes played today on crstl.fm:
Sweet Inspiration
- Mental Revenge-Linda Ronstadt (It's interesting hearing Ronstadt in this 1970 context, with prominent fiddle backing, tempo shifts, and more of a country bent. Lyrically, this is an honest way of saying, "I can't stand you," and it could be a companion piece with "You're No Good.")
Beyon' Cray
- Please Pardon Me (You Remind Me Of A Friend)-Rufus featuring Chaka Khan (With vocals and instrumental backing this strong and heartfelt, how was this 1974 track not a hit?)
- Cosmic Ray-Ray Charles & Milt Jackson (An enjoyably energetic piano-and-vibraharp instrumental.)
Dangerous Curves
- Drink The Ocean-Gabi Hartmann featuring Oracle Sisters (There's a relaxed, fanciful, floating vibe in the vocals and instrumentation.)
- No-Mina (Whether translating this from Italian to English or just listening to it in Italian, this is a pretty direct rejection of someone.)
