New Songs Added - 2/26/07

This week's mix is quite interesting. We have new selections from albums by Carrie Underwood, Clay Aiken, Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks as well as the new single, "Change", by Kimberley Locke. I have also added a track from Justin Guarini's second album of jazz standards and the track, "My Street", by the Norwegian Idol, Kurt Nilsen.

For some country flavor I have added the 2004 hit, "Restless", by Alison Krauss and the new single, "You'll Always Be My Baby", by Sara Evans which is currently at #14 on the Country chart.

Some of the more current offerings include James Morrison who is an English singer/songwriter who had a huge hit last year in Europe, Australia and Japan with the single "You Give Me Something." And then there is the independent artist, Eliot Popkin, who has been making quite a splash in the internet radio community with his single "Endless Ride." You will also hear tracks by Keane and OK Go.

Then there are some nostalgic selections this week by George Harrison, Kim Carnes, The Bee Gees, and Van Morrison.

Enjoy!

New Songs Added - 2/20/07

Yet another wildly eclectic mix of adds to the playlist this week. On the American Idol alumni front we have selections from albums by George Huff, Taylor Hicks, Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken. There is also the single, "The Lie" by Nikki McKibbin and "My Religion" by Ryan Starr, both contestants from season one.

"The Guide" by Borne is a free download from iTunes, so I threw it in to see how you like it. Borne is a band from Australia that seems to be making a mark here and in Europe.

I heard "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley on the Grammy's and really liked it, so I added it as well as "Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban which is currently #4 on the Radio & Records Country chart.

Harry Chapin's "Cat's In The Cradle" is an old favorite and Eva Cassidy is an artist I only became aware of in the last couple of years and really enjoy her music. I added a little rock with selections by Franz Ferdinand and the Rolling Stones. I then filled out the mix with tracks by Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder and The Mavericks.

Enjoy!

New Songs Added - 2/13/07

I hope you enjoyed the songs I added this week to the playlist on Rose Radio. From American Idol I selected additional tracks by Jon Peter Lewis, Josh Gracin, and the first single, "Over It", from Katharine McPhee's debut album. You also heard tracks from Ayla Brown and Patrick Hall who were top 24 finalists from season 5 of American Idol. This week's selection from Clay Aiken is "When I See You Smile" from his album "A Thousand Different Ways" which he dedicated to his friend, Kristy Barnes.

Another artist who gained national exposure on a TV show is Suzie McNeil, who was the last woman standing on the show Rockstar:INXS. You can hear her on Clay Aiken's album singing a duet with him on the song, "I Want To Know What Love Is." She has a great voice and I have included her single "Believe" on the playlist too.

Our station occasionally receives requests from new, independent or other little known artists to play their songs. You may have noticed that a couple of weeks ago I had added the new artist, Stephy T. This week I added the track "Time In A Jar" by Vince Falzone and "Chasing Rainbows" by Steve Larkman. I hope you like them. If you do, be sure to flag them when you hear them on the station.

New Songs Added 02/05/07

I am adding 16 songs to the playlist this week. Two new tracks that have recently been released to radio are "A Different World" by Bucky Covington and "Make Ya Feel Beautiful" by Ruben Studdard. I have also included "Papion" by Bo Bice from his independent album, "Recipe For Flavor" with the band, SugarMoney. Another oldie from an Idol contestant is "Hell of a Day" by Taylor Hicks from his independent album, "Under The Radar." You will also hear Tamyra Gray's "God Bless The Dreamer" and Clay Aiken's "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word." I also have a track, "We All Want to Believe", by Judd Harris who was a top 32 contestant from season 4 of American Idol.

In honor of Sherman Pore's audition of "You Belong to Me" on American Idol, I am adding Dean Martin's version to the list.

A few nostalgic adds for me are "All Woman" by Lisa Stansfield, "Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue" by Crystal Gale and "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto. Interesting fact about "Sukiyaki" is that even though the song has an upbeat feel to it, the lyrics really are actually quite sad. Still, I have always really liked the song.

I also have Michael Buble's "I'm Beginning To See The Light" from an EP that was exclusive to Target in 2005.

You will also hear songs by Dwight Yokam, KT Tunstall, and The Wreckers. You can hear these songs together from 11:00 a.m. through 1:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on Monday. Check the broadcast schedule to see what time it airs in your location. Don't forget to flag your favorite songs with the thumbs up icon (or down if you hate it). It will help determine which songs I keep or remove each week.
