Changed up and added some new songs. Mostly Idol songs, but a couple of other interesting picks too. First, I switched out
Constantine's "Fading Into You" for "Midnight Radio." Then I decided to add the new singles, "One Word" by
Elliott Yamin and "It's Good To Be Us" by
Bucky Covington. I added "Witness" from
Bo Bice's new album "See The Light." You will also hear "To Be With You" from
Nikki McKibbin's new album "Nikki McKibbin: Unleashed", "Can't Stop The Rain" by
Sarah Mather, "The Right Place" by
Taylor Hicks, "Only Love" by
George Huff and "Be Still" by
Kelly Clarkson.
There is an intriguing new album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss called
"Raising Sand" and I chose to feature the track "Killing The Blues."

I have also added the song "You Give Me Something" by the UK artist,
James Morrison.
