Divine Intervention strikes this evening, 7-9 pm PT on KDRT. It's a hot, hot, HOT evening here in Davis, CA, and so we'll play nothing but the coolest of tunes, new and old, rock and beyond. So what does that mean, specifically? Nothing. Literally nothing. Like we said. It's hot. It's too hot to think, in fact. But we'll have fun. You'll see.
Cowboy/western music and poetry CDs come to Nancy via the mail at the KDRT radio station. The CDs are sent in by artists or their representatives and Nancy says there are always trreasures to be discovered and enjoyed. The August 25th, 2017 episode of Cowboy Tracks will feature these gems from the mailbox.
Some classic jazz tonight!

Frank Sinatra & the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
Art Tatum
Clark Terry

This week's edition of Divine Intervention strikes with a slate of new rock/pop from the likes of Algiers, Cage the Elephant, Red Baraat, and Teenage Bottlerocket, as well as some loveliness en Español from Lila Downs. There will be other genres. There will be an obligatory eclipse-related song. And there will be Vinyl Vespers as pictured—a recording made to be funny that may have decidedly missed the mark. Guess we'll see (or hear) this evening, 7-9p PT, only on KDRT. More info and replays here on the program page.
Nancy is just back from 2-1/2 days immersed in verse and song at the 30th year of the Arizona Cowboy Poetry & Music Gathering. She'll talk about the event and play a sampler of music and poems by artists who performed at the Gathering. Lots of great material for you to enjoy!
Extended sets tonight on Jazz After Dark!
When the album Häxan came out last November I was stoked. Not just because it was yet another Dungen album, but also because it was such a good one! It's their only all-instrumental album, which made it feel that much more special ~ finally it truly was all about the music itself! This album is Dungen's imagined score for the gorgeous 1926 Lotte Reiniger's animated film "The Adventures of Prince Achmed."
You can see from the thumbnail that this is going to be an especially challenging Vinyl Vespers service, and so pat yourself on the back in advance for tuning in to Divine Intervention. The rewards will be great--including new and old rock, pop, and otherwise--live this evening, 7-9p Pacific, only on KDRT, where those grass roots (and apparently rose petals) grow.
Coming up tonight on Jazz After Dark!
