Late 40s Pop

January 7, 2017 Dave

A brand new show…fresh from the digital bins of Deeper Roots’ archives. We’ve got the songs and the stories once again this week as we take a cruise down the American whitebread pop river, exploring post-war pop. Our focus will be a very narrow window of time where the very best in silk and satin voices mixed freely with Hollywood novelty and nostalgic swing bands. Tune in for Kay Kyser, Dinah Shore, The Harmonicats, Frankie Laine, Vaughn Monroe, and a whole host of others this week on Deeper Roots as we explore a sound that missed the R&B and rock train and would be run over by it at the same time.

Who We Lost in 2016

December 30, 2016 Dave

To say that the year 2016 was a bummer year is an understatement. While entertainment would take a backseat to the social and political conflagrations of the year, it was a very tough year for music lovers, nonetheless. Deeper Roots will be sharing tracks from some of the great, both known and unknown, who left us. We’ll hear from both Prince as well as Dan Hicks; Natalie Cole and Lonnie Mack; Juan Gabriel and Paul Kantner. It does not end there and we’ll barely be able to cover them all. Tune into our last show of the year and help us remember what these performers brought us.

Blues, Country, Deeper Roots on KOWS, Early Pop, Free Form

Free Form – November 2016

December 3, 2016 Dave

While the show this week is free form (something we like to do every few weeks), we’ll be leaning on a number of ‘connections’ including a couple of sets that feature tracks from the 1950 classic country album “Beyond The Sunset” which was released by Luke The Drifter aka Hank Williams, Sr. We’ll hear interpretations and originals that keep the focus on the country gospel solemnities that made this album one of country’s most interesting albums of the time. We’ll also be rocking with The Prisonaires, Aretha Franklin; riding down the canyon with Gene Autry and Jonathan Edwards; and connecting with boot kicking pieces from Robert Gordon and Elvis. An interesting and fun two hours is in store for you on West County community radio. Join Dave Stroud for selections from the last 100 years.

Sugar Sugar

November 26, 2016 Dave

We’ve got a theme show for you tonight: the last century of America’s music with a focus on candy, cake, pie, and cola…all with that magic (deadly?) insidious ingredient that lures us to it’s flavor. A sure example of a muse if there ever was one. Tune for the sounds of Bill Haley, Al Hirt, Duke Ellington, Elvis, and the Collins Kids (among others). It’s folk, blues, R&B, country, pop, and rock…all in good sweet fun on KWTF radio.

Free Form – October 2016

November 5, 2016 Dave

We reflect on Columbus Day…that day of the year that something and nothing are both celebrated. While it may be another one of those “Flag Days”, it’s a day that we’ll set aside a set for in the most appropriate way. We’ll hear the “Ballad of Ira Hayes”, music from Robbie Robertson, and Maxine Sullivan in the set which is one of free form this week on Deeper Roots. A set about sin, a set about the glorious two-day event known as the weekend, ballads, bop, and and opening sweat bomb by Joyce Harris and the Daylighters. Sonoma County community radio it is…

Deeper Fats Waller

August 6, 2016 Dave

In his brief life of 39 years, Tom Waller (better known as ‘Fats’) took what he learned from the church organ and broke the bonds of sacred for the swinging sounds that he would learn from Willie “The Lion” Smith, James P. Johnson, and Eubie Blake. While the organ (or, as he liked to call it “The God Box”) was his first love, it was his songwriting and ebullient personality that would infuse his melodies that set him apart. The American Songbook chapter called “Joy” is full of his music and the tragedy of losing him too soon to his demons likely prevented us being further enriched. Tune in for two hours of music that inspired Fats as well as the music he gave us.

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!

July 23, 2016 Dave

Songs from the past century will fill the air with second hand music smoke…all songs that reflect either the hawkish or ‘dove-ish’ opinions in words and music. We have two hours of country, jazz, blues, pop, and all those adventurous styles in between that use nicotine for their muse. Country from k.d. lang to The Sons of The Pioneers, R&B from the likes of Lucky Millender to Benny Spellman, some doo-wop, some Sam Cooke soul, and a little bit of sweet big band sounds from Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians. Maybe we won’t celebrate the habit…just the music.

Free Form – May 2016

May 14, 2016 Dave

Country sounds from Johnny Cash, Wynn Stewart, and Ferlin Husky kick things off and we’ll run the blues and R&B gamut with B. B. King, John Jackson, and Duke Robillard…who will also complement the sounds of Dr. John. A free form extravaganza continues with early pop and big band sounds, including Helen Forrest vocals, The Boswells, and Harry James.

Deeper Roots takes on a theme this week… one that has us on the road, the rails, the ocean deep, and soaring in the clouds. We speak, of course, of our modes and muse of transport in music. There’s a variety of styling to be had including blues from Snooks Eaglin and Lightnin’ Hopkins, 50s country from Cowboy Copas and Bonnie Guitar, pop sounds from Jo Stafford and the Modernaires, and a host of others that all support the theme of the day. Tune in for another roots-infused Wednesday evening on KOWS, the heart and voice of West Sonoma County, California.
