Trombone Shorty "Do To Me"

It's amazing how much math comes up in the process of picking songs for mvyradio.

I'm not saying there is a hard, fast equation for picking music.

And honestly, the values placed on things are sometime a bit arbitrary.

But I did do a little bit of calculating, when trying to decide if we should play the new Trombone Shorty single.

Troy Smith is an Amazing horn player and he's a great composer.

Plus. Plus.

He's only an adequate singer. And I've got a stack of CDs featuring great vocalists in the "considering" pile.

Minus.

The lyrics are written by Ryan Montbleau.

Plus.

The R&B groove he lays down isn't in-the-pocket mvyradio. But we do usually make room for a little bit of that flavor, on a playlist that otherwise needs to favor straightforward singer-songwriters to stay true to the station's heritage sound.

Slight minus, slight plus.

Peeking around the country, many different radio stations are playing this track. So it's working. People are responding.

Plus.

Trombone Shorty is Amazing and there is always incentive to support true, quality artists.

Plus.

Advantage: new Trombone Shorty, on mvyradio!
