Playlist for 7-25-2017 WFCF - Hotter Than July!

July at Flagler Beach - 2011

Hi and happy Tuesday! Today's show theme is "Hotter Than July" - all the tracks (except new releases) were recorded in the month of July! We're in the dog days here in Florida and I thought it would be neat to hear music that captures the essence of midsummer. I'm sure the recording studios were stuffy at best and the walks, trains & subways to them were sweltering. Amazingly, the discomfort seems to only cause the artists to dig and search a little deeper. We'll hear a lot of music never before played on the show, along with a few classic cuts and new releases on the half hours. Tune in today (Tuesday July 25th) from 3-7pm eastern with a break at 5 by clicking here. See you then! - Kendo
