KUNI CDs of the Month

 

Be listening to each of the locally produced music programs on KUNI for the "CD of the Month," a recording which we consider so special that it will be spotlighted throughout the month. It may be a hot new release, or a recent re-release, or an older CD that is not commonly found, but worthy of revisiting.
