Divine Intervention strikes once again at 7p PT on KDRT. This week, we plan on some brand new tunes, including the latest RAWK from '68 and Shred Flintstone, new pop from Palehound, and some wonderful electronic weirdness via new releases from Com Truise and JNTHN STEIN. Our Vinyl Vespers feature looks groovy but is not quite as obscure as we might like. We'll give it a spin during our weekly worship, see where it takes us, hope for the best. Do tune in.

Country and western music used to be played on the same radio stations, but they're not the same music styles. Can you tell the difference between Cowboy songs and Country songs? Nancy offers her "4 Markers of a Cowboy Song". She and Doug will play various songs and use the markers to categorize tunes by their genre. But, regardless of the genre, it's all great music on this show!

Davisville, June 4, 2017: The Summer of Love, Plus Pin A Go Go Outgrows its Local Home

Mon, 06/05/2017 - 6:25pm | Bill Buchanan

Sycamore bike lane 1967.jpeg

Fifty years ago, the Summer of Love made San Francisco an international focus of pop culture, and people are still talking about the ripples. Today we join the conversation by talking with Gary Lee Yoder, a Davis guitarist/singer/songwriter who lived both here and in San Franciso in 1967. We discuss the Davis band Oxford Circle (he was a member), sitting next to Jann Wenner as Wenner typed up the first issue of Rolling Stone, and events that summer in Davis ... including a concert in Central Park where Yoder called the bluff of a police officer who said the band was playing too loud. In the show's second segment, we interview Steve Faith of Davis during this year’s Pin A Go Go pinball festival, which has grown too big to stick around at its longtime home at the Dixon May Fairgrounds. (This photo shows Davis' Sycamore Lane in 1967.)

Tune in for another edition of Divine Intervention, emanating live from Davis, California, on this warm spring day. We'll have new rock/pop, probably some funky soul, and maybe even a little swinging country or jazz. No promises, except for a just-ducky Vinyl Vespers track from the pictured artist. Tune in 7-9p PT, only on KDRT 95.7fm.

The Rayos - an intimate discussion - Jun 2nd, 2017

Fri, 06/02/2017 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

saul and elena .jpg

What a great hour - community radio delivers an outstanding interview - listen now.

Oz Fritz writes about Saul and Elena as follows. "Saul Rayo's music reflects a rich active life of multitudinous experience and discovery. Rayo observes nature, his own and the world around him, then writes and receives songs that stimulates and nourishes the creative soul. Not so much food for thought as it is food for being. Genuine, insightful, drawn from a life well lived. Personally experienced, you can feel it not only in the melodies and lyrics he writes, but as it plays through his fingers in unique rhythm guitar grooves and syncopations that carries a tune like Atlas carries the World, only you can dance to it.

Album of the Week: Caustic Love by Paolo Nutini (Thu 6/1 at 5PM)

Wed, 05/31/2017 - 10:36am | Eunah

Paolo-Nutini-Caustic-Love.jpg

I've been listening to Paolo Nutini ever since I first got the FREE iTunes download from his debut album in 2006. This is a lot longer than usual for me to stick with an artist (uninterrupted), especially as most of my musical tastes have transformed significantly over time. What helped keep my interest in his music was that Nutini ALSO transformed over time.

His first album (These Streets) was, for all intents and purposes, a mellow folk/pop album. It's nice, easy listening.

Caustic Love was released on Atlantic Records in 2014 - this time he was exploring something different. This album is much more rooted in R&B and soul, with clear influences from artists like Marvin Gaye and Janis Joplin. The vocals aren't as balls-to-the-wall as some of the great soul singers but it's a different, gentler vocal style with the kind of raspy Joplin-esque quality that I really love.
