Teddy Pendergrass) If You Don't Know Me By Now - The Best of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes Legacy/Pir/Epic Associated 1995 If I recall correctly, this was the first song I heard by Teddy Pendergrass - it remains an astonishing masterpiece of swoon-worthy soul.

7:16 AM		The James Hunter Six Who's Fooling Who Nick of Time Daptone Records 2020 Among the most purely pleasurable records of the year to date.
7:19 AM		Jonathan Wilson So Alive N Dixie Blur Bella Union 2020 Wilson writes songs of such passionate beauty. And then he goes off and makes money playing with Roger Waters.
7:24 AM		Kendell Marvel I've Gotta Get a Message to You N Solid Gold Sounds Easy Eye Sound 2019 Did you realize this Bee Gees song was country ready?

7:36 AM		Beausoleil Cubana Bayou Cajunization Rhino 1999 A little Cajun/Cuban crossover. Gorgeous.
7:40 AM		Rufus Wainwright Rules and Regulations Release the Stars Geffen 2007 I do believe this man is the finest songwriter of the early years of this century.

7:51 AM		Erik Voeks Grey Rain Town So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away Hanky Panky Records 2017 Voeks used to live in St. Louis - but before, during, and after, he made great pop rock.
7:59 AM		Echo & The Bunnymen Ripeness Porcupine Rhino/Warner Records 2004 Back in 1983, these guys were conjuring up their own fresh version of post punk rock.
8:04 AM		Jefferson Airplane It's No Secret Jefferson Airplane Takes Off RCA/BMG Heritage 1966 In some ways, this only hints at what they would become but I love this song for all it does achieve.
8:06 AM		The Vondrukes Take It Away L Runaway, Goodbye Love The Vondrukes 2012 This St. Louis band doesn't operate full-time any more, but I'm always ready to hear them.
8:10 AM		The Rolling Stones Living In A Ghost Town N Living In A Ghost Town - Single Rolling Stones 2020 Brand new single, and it's darned good - it will get you ready to dance.
8:14 AM		The Boomtown Rats Here's a Postcard N Citizens of Boomtown BMG Rights Management (UK) Ltd 2020 Sir Bob Geldof still has that old cheeky rock'n'roll bug.

8:22 AM		Sugar Pie DeSanto Use What You Got Go Go Power - The Complete Chess Kent Records UK 2009 The second best soul singer on Chess Records in the late 60s.
8:25 AM		John Lee Hooker Let's Make It Burnin' Vee-Jay Records 1991 I love the early 60s Hooker sides that prettymuch invented a good chunk of British blues fans.

8:50 AM		Albert King I've Made Nights By Myself Thursday Night In San Francisco (Live) Stax 1990 Albert King didn't want no jazz chords in his music, but I like it both ways.

9:06 AM		Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey Depth Of Field N Our Back Pages Omnivore 2020 A song I don't think they'd recorded before, unlike all the rest of this album.

9:31 AM		999 Crazy Tuesday World N Bish! Bash! Bosh! Cleopatra Records 2020 I really didn't expect a new album by 999 to be this much fun. Nick Cash's voice ain't what it used to be, but the spirit is still very willing, and the songs are pretty cool.
9:34 AM		Lucinda Williams You Can't Rule Me N Good Souls Better Angels Highway 20 Records 2020 She's never gonna move me the way she did a long time ago, but this album has a few poppin' cuts.
9:39 AM		Paul Burch Jean Garrique N Light Sensitive Plowboy Records 2020 He's been making good records for a long time, doesn't get noticed nearly enough.
