Saturday morning highlights:
The Elevator
- Up On The Roof-John Fox (This flute, guitar, and strings rendition of the classic Drifters hit slows the tempo down, giving it a tasteful, easy listening sheen.)
B.B. King's Bluesville
- Every Step Of The Way-Keb' Mo' (An honest acknowledgment that not every decision we make in life will be perfect, but what we learn along the way helps us navigate life more gracefully.)
Lo-Fi Sleep
- Over The Moon-Team Astro (A warm piano riff with crackling vinyl sound effects.)
Luna
- Brigas, Nuncas Mais (Fights Never More)-Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina (Rhythmically, these vocals and keyboard accompaniment could segue with various versions of "One Note Samba.")
Piano Instrumentals
- Changing Winds-Alexandra Streliski (Fit for a soap opera scene in which a character contemplates a major life decision.)
SiriusXMU
- Knocking At The Sky-The Last Dinner Party (For lyrical contrast, Samia's "Spine Oil" would be an interesting tune to segue with this.)
Spectrum Discovery
- Haunted-Phoebe Bridgers (How do you regroup and soldier on after a setback, especially when it's one that's not visible to others? This new release ponders this thoughtfully and takes a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other attitude toward recovery.)
Stevie's Coolest Songs
- Casablanca-Susanna Hoffs (Hoffs has maintained an earnest sincerity in her vocals over decades, as this new release illustrates.)
