7:00 AM		Rufus Wainwright Shenandoah N Folkocracy BMG Rights Management (US) LLC 2023 This was one of those folk songs that just seemed in the air when I was a kid - Rufus does an incredible job with it.
7:03 AM		Steeleye Span Blackleg Miner Back In Line Park Records 2009 This was released in 1986, one of the later incarnations of this often wonderful folk band.
7:07 AM		Spirogyra Put Out That Fire Revolution Solution Ration L' OMP 2011 The English prog/folk/rock band only lasted a few years in the early 70s, but they were awfully good. Then they reformed in the late 00s and still had it.
7:12 AM		Bob Dylan Queen Jane Approximately N Shadow Kingdom Columbia/Legacy 2023 Dylan's new live in the studio album is full of compelling and rich new versions of classic songs.

7:31 AM		Richard Barone Odd Girl Out (feat. Jill Sobule) Glow (Deluxe Edition) RBM Special Editions 2010 Barone is one of the best pop/rock songwriters most people don't know. This is still his latest album of original material.
7:35 AM		Family Larf & Sing Fearless (Bonus Track Version) Crimson 1971 They went through a lot of changes during their heyday, but the records are worth seeking out.
7:37 AM		Argent Once Around the Sun Nexus Epic 1974 I am always happy to play the band Rod Argent led after leaving the Zombies.
7:41 AM		Boy George Blindman Cheapness and Beauty Virgin Catalogue 1995 I didn't realize Boy George tried his hand at rocking.
7:46 AM		David Wax Museum Best Lover N You Must Change Your Life Nine Mile Records 2023 I recommend this idiosyncratic cool band.

7:52 AM		The Drifters Money Honey Let the Boogie-Woogie Roll: Greatest Hits 1953-1958 Rhino Atlantic 2005 A 1953 classic from the Clyde McPhatter era.

8:01 AM		Van Morrison Ballerina Astral Weeks Rhino/Warner Records 1968 Some records never get old.
8:08 AM		Peter One Kavudu Come Back To Me Verve Forecast 2023 An immigrant from the Ivory Coast, he's lived in Nashville for more than 25 years, and his new record is rather singular and quite good.
8:13 AM		Youssou N'Dour Takuta (feat. Babatunde Olatunji) History Naive 2019 I'm not sure when this was recorded, but it's a cool slice of N'Dour-ness.
8:16 AM		Allen Toussaint Victims of the Darkness Life, Love and Faith Rhino/Warner Records 1972 A giant in the history of New Orleans music.
8:20 AM		Solomon Burke I Need Your Love In My Life Make Do With What You Got Shout Factory 2005 He was a fantastic soul singer.

8:32 AM		The National New Order T-Shirt N First Two Pages of Frankenstein 4AD 2023 Probably my fave song on this very fine new record.
8:37 AM		Madness Mrs. Hutchinson (Remastered) 7 Salvo 2010 Madness had a really strong pop sense. This was originally a 1981 b-side.

8:48 AM		Brian Wilson Keep an Eye On Summer Imagination Giant 1998 This guy has made some important contributions to pop music history. This one is minor Wilson, but it's still wonderful.
8:51 AM		Delaney & Bonnie Only You Know and I Know (Live at Fairfield Hall 12/7/1969) [2nd Show] On Tour With Eric Clapton (Live) Rhino Atlantic 2010 This band was sizzling in those days.
9:00 AM		Ben Wendel Wanderers (feat. Terence Blanchard) All One Edition Records 2023 Jazz saxophonist teams with the great trumpeter Terence Blanchard on this cut.
9:08 AM		Chico Buarque Renata Maria Carioca Biscoito Fino 2007 One of the great Brazilian singers and songwriters.

9:16 AM		Dave Matthews Band Singing From the Windows N Walk Around The Moon Bama Rags Recordings 2023 I was not expecting to be so taken with this new DMB record. Sometimes it pays to listen to what you don't know yet.
9:21 AM		Joy Oladokun sunday in defense of my own happiness Verve Forecast/Republic Records 2021 Her new album is getting good reviews, but I preferred the last one. I should give the new one another chance one of these days, though.

9:41 AM		Bo Diddley Hey, Jerome Where It All Began Geffen 1972 I don't know where Jerome was for this cut - this was around the time he walked away from his long partnership with Bo Diddley. Great cut anyway.
9:44 AM		Charlie Feathers Pardon Me Mister Charlie Feathers Nonesuch 2005 There were, if I recall correctly, five CDs released at once back around 1993 or thereabouts, trying to put focus on neglected American musicians. This turned out to be my only Charlie Feathers record somehow.
