"Calling Me Back." Treasured memories that keep tugging one back are the theme of these western songs and cowboy poems. Will there be any Dave Stamey songs? You bet. And Don Edwards, Mary Kaye, Michael Martin Murphey and local favorites: the Old West Trio and Rita Hosking. If you like songs with heart, this is the place to be.
Coming up tonight!
Portland-based The Decemberists have partnered with English singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney to create an album which celebrates and reimagines 60's and 70's British folk rock. Front man Colin Meloy had dreamed of having The Decemberists be the Albion Band/Steeleye Span/Fairport Convention to Chaney's role as Shirley Collins/Maddy Prior/Sandy Denny. The results are stunning. The Decemberists with Olivia Chaney will be appearing at The Mondavi Center on August 18th. Please join me this Wednesday (July 26th at 5 PM).
Every year, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum selects the most outstanding song or poem and traditional western album. On the July 21, 2017 episode, Nancy will play selections from the last 10 years of winners. You know it's gonna be good!
Hard bop, soul jazz and more tonight on Jazz After Dark
"Special price" indeed. Yep, the image is our Vinyl Vespers feature. Other than that, the music should be a good mix of rock/pop/punk, new and old. Tune in this evening for Divine Intervention on KDRT, 7-9p PT. Yep yep yep.
Nancy will be playing a big stack of music representing her current favorites . Listen in for a toe--tapping, heart-warming and just plain fun mix of western tunes!
Spanning the decades tonight: 1940's to 2011
Tune in 7-9p Pacific time for another edition of Divine Intervention. In addition to a truly suberb Vinyl Vespers selection, we shall have new music from the likes Rod Melancon, Terry Anderson, R.Y.E., Lo Tom, and who knows what else.
This evening on Divine Intervention, we'll listen to some sweet sounds from the bands performing at tomorrow's Fourth of July celebration (thanks to the Davis Live Music Collective). "Which bands?" you ask. None other thanCon Brio, Achilles Wheel, and Element Brass Band. "Will this be fun?" you ask. Actually, no, you don't—because you know from the line-up that the answer is a definite "Yes!" Instead, you ask if George Maharis is in one of these bands. We decline to answer that silly question, but we do hope you'll tune in for the July 4th preview, new music, and, of course, Vinyl Vespers, only on Divine Intervention, 7-9p PT, on KDRT-FM.
