'Roots ' here refers to the 'roots' of music - for instance Dylan listened to traditional folk songs ( or those who wrote in that tradition) to craft his early music.
Music like old-timey( similar to bluegrass) blues, country , zydeco, English ballads- all inspired songwriters from Donovan to Johnny Cash, Nancy Griffith to the Avett Brothers , etc.
I will continue to use the term and hope you can forget whatever x-rated connotation it may have in Oz in this case.
Btw 'The Masters Apprentices' - new name to me- seemed to have some inspiration in that type of music as well, even tho they seem more of a pop or lite rock band. Enjoyed the melody and the clanging acoustic guitar.
Finally, spookie, no need to ask me whether I like each song , tho I' ll try to get to as many as I can. - what I'd love to know is why YOU like each song. Of course, there's no grades system here on Song if the Day , but I'm hoping you ( and others) to be inspired by an event , memory, mood or even a dream that you're experiencing and post a song that fits your day.
