Thursday afternoon standouts:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Ca-Lee-So-Lee Morgan (Fun, infectious calypso-style trumpet with excellent piano backing from McCoy Tyner.)
- B'wana She No Home-The Carpenters (If you're expecting "Sing," "Rainy Days And Mondays," or "We've Only Just Begun," you're in for a surprise. This cover of a Michael Franks tune, complete with jazzy piano and saxophone, shows a fun, unexpectedly spicier side of The Carpenters.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- In Your Ocean-Iron & Wine (An honest acknowledgment that while relationships can be rewarding, they're also sometimes exhausting.)
KWUR 90.3 FM
- Shaking As It Turns-Lula Wiles (Sadly appropriate lyrics for our current powder keg of a country. Vocally and instrumentally, this reminds me of Sarah Jarosz.)
- Nothing's Gonna Happen (Demo)-The Staves (Sung with the group's trademark impressive harmony.)
