7:02 AM		Harry Nilsson Spaceman Son of Schmilsson RCA/Legacy 1972 I first heard this song played by the Foolish Virgins back around 1981. It quickly became my fave Nilsson song.
7:05 AM		The Paranoid Style Moveable Feast Blues N For Executive Meeting Bar/None Records 2022 Hemingway references - among others - make for a good song.
7:07 AM		Cate Le Bon Remembering Me N Pompeii Mexican Summer 2022 I struggle to describe Cate Le Bon's music, but I dig it.
7:12 AM		Alice Cooper Go to Hell Alice Cooper Goes to Hell Rhino/Warner Records 2005 I agree that by 1976 - after he had disbanded the original group - Alice Cooper was not as good as he had been. But this song, answering critics in the culture wars of the time, is pretty fun and funny.
7:18 AM		Dee Dee Warwick Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow The Complete Atco Recordings Rhino Atlantic 2014 Dionne's sister made some great records, too, ya know.
7:22 AM		Kelly Clarkson Blue Bayou N Kellyoke - EP Atlantic Records 2022 A song that requires great pipes - of course Kelly Clarkson nails it.
7:26 AM		Ben E. King Souvenir of Mexico Spanish Harlem Rhino Atlantic 2005 From all the way back in 1961, a nice album track from this wonderful singer.
7:28 AM		Janiva Magness The Last Time N Hard to Kill Label Logic 2022 This album is filled with strong songs and even stronger performances.
7:34 AM		Mary Gauthier Thank God for You N Dark Enough to See the Stars In The Black 2022 Gauthier sure can write about happiness.
7:39 AM		The J. Geils Band Desire (Please Don't Turn Away) Love Stinks EMI/EMI Records (USA) 2006 It was 1980, and the good-time party blues and r&b these guys were doing wasn't gonna make it in the marketplace any more, so they pivoted to party-time New Wave. This was actually sort of transitional.
7:43 AM		The Hanging Stars Ballad of Whatever May Be N Hollow Heart Loose Music under exclusive license from The Hanging Stars 2022 British band with a love for early 70s American music.
7:47 AM		Delaney & Bonnie Hard to Say Goodbye Home (Bonus Track Version) Stax 2006 From the 1969 debut album of this talented duo.
7:50 AM		Rusty Don’t Lose Your Grip On Love N The Resurrection Of Rust - EP EMI 2022 Elvis Costello and Allan Mayes reunite to do some of the songs from the band they had together before Costello became famous.
7:55 AM		Bob Dylan There's a Flaw in My Flue Triplicate Columbia 2017 It's only been five years since the last time Dylan put out a record of standards - and I still like hearing his takes.
8:01 AM		Count Basie & Dizzy Gillespie Ow! The Gifted Ones (Remastered) Fantasy Records 1979 I can't argue with the song title, or the album title for that matter. Great cut!
8:07 AM		Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson Good Bread Alley Cherry Red Blues King Records 1970 Cleanhead was a fine sax player and a terrific singer.
8:10 AM		The Kodaks Oh Gee, Oh Gosh Doo Wop Essentials Stereo Magic Records 2014 A little 1950s doo wop featuring lead vocalist Pearl McKinnon, a rare woman in that field.
8:13 AM		The Moonglows Ten Commandments of Love Blue Velvet: The Ultimate Collection Geffen 1993 This song is ridiculous, no question, but it's ridiculously enjoyable.
8:17 AM		The Regents Barbara Ann The Best of the Regents Doo Wop Old Gold Media 2009 The original. I used to know a guy named Bob Haran who had to put up with a lot of grief because of this song.
8:21 AM		Johnny Burnette & The Rock 'n' Roll Trio The Train Kept a Rollin' Tear It Up - The Complete Legendary Coral Recordings Hip-O Select 2004 An explosion of a record in 1956.
8:23 AM		The Dream Syndicate The Chronicles of You N Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions Fire Records 2022 Surely this is a band that is thankful for Paul Burleson's guitar on the previous song - no direct link, but the aggression is the same.
8:26 AM		Wilko Johnson HELLO JOSEPHINE Red Hot Rocking Blues Jungle Records 2003 One of the best and most distinctive guitarists of the last 45 years.
8:29 AM		Izaak Opatz Handholder N Extra Medium Mama Bird Recording Co. 2022 Smart, sharp singer/songwriter.
8:32 AM		Ollabelle Heaven's Pearls Riverside Battle Songs Verve Forecast 2006 An entire band of fantastic singers - they should have been way more popular.
8:37 AM		Lisa Mychols & Super 8 I Can't Explain N Jem Records Celebrates Pete Townshend Jem Records 2022 She's not afraid to change this song into something way different.
8:41 AM		Etta James Money (That's What I Want) Rocks The House Geffen 1963 This 1963 album is one of a handful of spectacularly great live albums in the world.
8:45 AM		Bobby Previte Hunter single Rank Hypocri$y 2022 A cool little jazz tribute to Charlie Hunter.
8:49 AM		Macy Gray Why Didn't You Call Me (feat. Grafh) [88-Keys Remix] Why Didn't You Call Me (Remixes) - EP Epic 1999 I'm not usually big on remixes, but this one works pretty well.
8:52 AM		Mary Wells Dear Lover Dear Lover: The Atco, Jubilee and Reprise Years 1965-1974 Warner Music Group - X5 Music Group 2020 I think this was her first post-Motown single. It should've been big.
8:55 AM		Tommy Ridgley Woncha Gone The Very Best Of Burning Fire 2009 One of many New Orleans r&b singers who never hit the big time for long outside their native city, but who contributed a lot of great records.
9:00 AM		Prince Automatic 1999 Warner Records 1982 I'd forgotten this song - haven't played all of 1999 in many, many years. But, this is a cool groove.
9:11 AM		Meridian Brothers & El Grupo Renacimiento Bomba Atómica N Meridian Brothers & El Grupo Renacimiento Ansonia Records 2022 Meridian Brothers come from Columbia - El Grupo Renacimiento is their fake legendary salsa alter ego.
9:15 AM		Ben Marc Sometimes Slow N Glass Effect Innovative Leisure 2022 Electronic music mixed with jazz.
9:20 AM		Roy Ayers This Guy's In Love With You Daddy Bug Nature Sounds 2017 1969 jazz take on the Burt Bacharach tune.

9:34 AM		Lois Lee I've Got It Bad for You Baby Tough Dolls buffalo bop 2019 I have no information on this artist, but this is a hot cut.
9:36 AM		Sammy Price Good Paree Sammy Price and the Blues Singers Wolf Records International GmbH 2012 Boogie-woogie jazz pianist you don't hear all that often.
9:40 AM		Margo Price That's How Rumors Get Started That's How Rumors Get Started (Deluxe) Concord Loma Vista 2022 One of her finest songs.
9:44 AM		Watkins Family Hour On the Outside (feat. Gaby Moreno) N Vol. II Family Hour Records 2022 Fantastic new record from Sara and Sean Watkins - this track also has Gaby Moreno doing some harmony vocals. It kinda sounds like a lost Fleetwood Mac song.
9:49 AM		Billy Strings In The Morning Light Renewal Rounder 2021 One of the best bluegrass musicians these days.
9:53 AM		Kathy Mattea Slow Boat Lonesome Standard Time Island Mercury 1992 I didn't realize it back when she was doing pretty well in the country world, but she's always been a great singer.
