Wake Up!

October 25, 2024 Dave Leave a comment

We’ll be sharing a Wake Up call with everyone out there…no…not election day. Although it’s just around the corner. There’s an alarm clock buzzing or ringing or chiming that is bent on a theme…that of ‘waking up’. That’s our theme in the show todays as we excavate the mines of rich Americana ore from the past century, sharing songs whose thematic tone demands that our eyes open to the brighter days ahead. Dave has a boatload of sounds that include the rockabilly sounds of Mac Curtis and some country bop from Billy Briggs. That’s not all…there’s the brothers Everly, Merle Haggard, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Richard Thompson, Nat King Cole, Bob Dorough and a couple dozen others. Join Dave for a thematic romp on Deeper Roots this Friday morning on KOWS Community Radio.

Remembering Kris Kristofferson

October 13, 2024 Dave Leave a comment

Much of Kris Kristofferson’s musical narratives put you on the opposing seat in the confessional while all the while there are fleeting glimpses of your own story reflecting back. Kris was more than a renaissance man. He was an individual whose values and beliefs were held close but easily parsed in the music that made him who he was. There was all that we want in our own selves: honesty, forthrightness, certainty, humor, and a social conscience like the one he shared with the late Sinead O’Conner. A poignant and aspirational tribute from a man who was army ranger, a helicopter pilot, firefighter, a Golden Gloves boxer and Rhodes Scholar in literature who credited a philosophy professor as his greatest influence. We’ll spend time with his words and music this October morning. Here’s hoping you can join us.

A Bucket Of Nuggets

October 4, 2024 Dave Leave a comment

The Bear Family label, headquartered in Germany, has long featured deep track dives into American music of the past century. Whether that be rock, country, rhythm and blues, or Americana; much of it is as far off the beaten track as you can imagine. Their selections and the high quality of the liner notes and ephemera have long been the top shelf standard for collectors and aficionados of American music. This week on Deeper Roots we’ll be diving into their delightful ‘theme’ universe prefaced with the perfect title of “Destination”. We’ll be digging into the themes of ‘freeway’, ‘outer space’, ‘beach parties’, ‘ocean cruise’, ‘lust’ and ‘sex’. The music you’ll be hearing is an unusual ‘bucket of nuggets’ representing some of the very best of camp pop and rock. Tune in for a raucous blend of ‘never heard’.
