Standout songs heard this morning:
KLZR (Westcliffe, CO)
- Indian Hills-New Grass Revival (This fast bluegrass instrumental features deft interplay between the guitar, banjo, fiddle, and bass. Nickel Creek's "Ode To A Butterfly" could flow into this.)
KTAL (Las Cruces, NM)
- Kokopelli Wind-R. Carlos Nakai (Haunting solo flute playing.)
WNCU (Durham, NC)
- Red Planet-Marian McPartland (McPartland anchors this combo on piano in a cookin' rendition of a John Coltrane tune.)
- Sankofa-Cassandra Wilson (Captivatingly layered a cappella vocals.)
WPRB (Princeton, NJ)
- Leave Us A Message-Antique Seeking Nuns (This type of guitar style often draws me into an indie rock track. I hear elements of Rush and prog rock in this track.)
WVVY (Tisbury, MA)
- The Sea Of Love-John Fahey (The Honeydrippers had a hit with this, but Fahey's understated guitar rendition deserves its due.)
- Look Up (a.k.a. Whenever)-Irma Thomas (Perky pick-me-up vocals and piano.)
