Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Dashboard Diaries -- Sept. 17, 2026

Thu, 09/17/2026 - 12:05pm | RayK

Dashboard Goteborg.jpg

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK is in a pensive mood. We’re going to forego the Ozzy and Def Leppard and do some navel-gazing with the likes of Nick Drake, Alison Krauss, Marshall Krenshaw, Beck, Boz Scaggs and a bunch of other artists you haven’t thought about in decades. Tune it to KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org Thursday 3-5 p.m. and I promise to keep you amused and/or entertained for a couple of hours.

Commemorating pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, who died June 2026 at age of 91. A native of Cape Town, South Africa, his unique style of jazz was infused with the folk music of his childhood. Duke Ellington arranged his early recording sessions. Early albums were released as Dollar Brand.  Ibrahim recorded and performed for decades, with his last album released in 2024. Tonight we'll hear selections from the 1960s to 2014.

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

This week, I’m spinning songs that do a little product placement of their own—tunes that name-drop everything from cars to Coca-Cola.

And between the music, we’ll turn back the clock with some classic radio commercials from days gone by.

Great songs, vintage ads, and a few surprising facts along the way. It’s music, memories, and marketing—all rolled into one hour on Listening Lyrics.
