A theme show once again, this week with the telephone as our muse. Songs about the most important of communication devices which has fused with social media to the benefit, and equal detriment, of all mankind. From the early call from Bell to Watson to the proverbial football that our fearless leader carries around to make the one call to eradicate or, better yet, save mankind. This week we’ll visit the long lost guide known as the “operator” and the equally antiquated term “dial” with music from country, pop, soul, and rock archives of yesterday. Kick back and be entertained by the sounds of Brenda Lee, Sister Wynona Carr, Stonewall Jackson, Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb, and Bill Fury in a collection of the very best from multiple genres here on Sonoma County Community Radio, broadcasting in West County on 92.5 FM and streaming to all mankind on kowsfm.com/listen. Drop in why don’t you?

Liberty Records was founded in 1955 by Simon Waronker after his cousin, Herb Newman, suggested they go into the record business. The early years found the label in the deep end of easy listening pop with the likes of Julie London, novelty music featuring The Chipmunks, Patience and Prudence, Martin Denny, and Henry Mancini. But rock n’ roll was hitting its stride, and in the late fifties they released a blend of pure rock and rockabilly with Eddie Cochran. But the 60s found a more tame version with hitmakers like Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, Timi Yuro, Buddy Knox, and the post-Buddy Holly Crickets. At the peak of it’s hit-making machine the whole lot was sold to an umbrella company that also featured the catalogs of Imperial, Aladdin, Minit, and Dolton…we’ll share a host of Liberty releases with you in the show today. With the exception of Eddie Cochran, we’ll just call it rock ‘n roll ‘lite’.

The Imperial label will be the subject of this week’s Deeper Roots show. Founded in 1947 by Lew Chudd, it’s early years featured some of the very best rhythm and blues and early rock you could find. Their lineup included some of the big names of early rock, not least of which was Roy Brown, Fats Domino, Frankie Ford and Ricky Nelson. They would dabble in country and jazz but also looked to strike while the iron was hot when Elvis hit with a blend of country and rhythm and blues in the mid-50s. They did so by looking for new names with ducktails and driving combos in the rockabilly era. This episode focuses primarily on the 1950s with a future episode taking us further into the label’s sale to Liberty Records in 1963 but not before Lew Chudd purchased Aladdin and Minit Records, bringing over even more of the R&B talent that they would be known for. It’s another Deeper Roots Friday morning on KOWS.

Another morning of covers, from country to soul and a little bit of rhythm and roll in store. This week’s show celebrates the songwriters and performers who found themselves honored with tributes and covers that honor the sense of a piece. We’ll hear covers of Tom T. Hall, Arthur Alexander, Robert Hunter, Derek Martin, Hank Snow and JJ Cale in the show today. The idea is to find a cover worth noting and put it up alongside the original. Just over a dozen songs to pick from in our two hours this morning featuring covers by Shannon McNally, Charley Crockett, Amy Black and Teddy Thompson. Join Dave Stroud for another episode from those dusty digital bins and turn up the volume for straight interpretations and a few wild takes in another covers show on a Friday morning from the KOWS studio in downtown Santa Rosa, California.

Free form! That’s right. No theme, no genre exploration, no tribute or topical show today. Only topical playlists embellishing the show today including New Orleans memories from Bobby Mitchell, Fats Domino and Dr. John, country nuggets from Merle, Buck and Elvis as well as some fancy shmancy crooning from a Perry, Blue Eyes and Dino. We’ll also be digging into some classic rockabilly tunes and some canciones de Flaco and Los Lobos. Here in Sonoma County we’re going from three years of drought, wildfires and the Santa Ana winds to preparing for levee breaches and floods with the snow melts. We also get to behave like adults in the face of biased and inhumane Supreme Court decisions and moronic Texas politicians. Because we know who they are and what they represent: book burners and religious zealots with white hoods. While nobody is without sin, we’ll go with Newsom’s ability to employ the right critical thinking at the right time. I told you it would be a free form morning.

This week’s show takes us across the landscape of the state of Georgia and then reminisces about ladies that share her name. No genre is off limits and no era too far in the past is excluded in this latest Deeper Roots show that takes on a theme. We’re also hoping that the will of the people is not interfered with in a state that’s struggling to awaken; a lumbering giant of democracy still haunted (and celebrated at the highest levels) by plantation politics. Our music this week will feature some tradition from Georgia’s own Jake Xerxes Fussell, country tunes from Lefty Frizzell and Charley Crockett, jazz from Nina Simone and Joe Venuti, and we’ll visit a Georgia Camp Meeting and One More Sunday in Savannah. Tune in for a collection of tunes about a state of mind and some fine women who share the name of a southern state where peaches and a darker past prosper. Tune in on Friday morning here on Sonoma County Community Radio.

Memories of summer nights where the aroma of popcorn, car exhaust and nature fused as the car windows steamed up and the tin can speaker sounds synchronized with the silver screen…at the drive in movie. For the decades of the fifties, sixties, and seventies you could bring a car load of friends and find your spot across the little hills that pointed you skyward towards the glow of a billboard of dreams. This week on Deeper Roots we’ll visit some performances that include on-screen legends as well as legends that tried to make music outside of their lane. Some that we’ll hear from succeeded and some…well…went back to their day job. Tune in for music from Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis, Jack Webb, Marilyn Monroe, and a couple dozen others on a fun little romp on another Friday episode of Deeper Roots on KOWS 92.5 FM.

The decade of the sixties saw top 40 radio get it’s cue from the sounds of the Motor City. The house that Berry Gordy built was overflowing with musical talent. And he knew how to use them. The Funk Brothers and other studio musicians coupled with the songwriting of Barrett Strong, Smokey Robinson, and the team of Holland-Dozier-Holland…were at the core of what was produced in Detroit’s Motown. There were also the performers that blossomed, some becoming household names: Mary Wells, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Martha and the Vandellas, and countless others. There is no question that this was the Motown Decade. This week on Deeper Roots we’ll be walking through the sixties Motown sound with just some of those performers…and more. Friday mornings at 9 Pacific on KOWS Community Radio.

We’re going silent today. Vocals-wise, anyway. Tune in Friday morning for the best rock instrumentals from the late fifties through the sixties as we journey through a slick set of the very best from Santo and Johnny to Mason Williams with our core focus being on the wild chart sounds of Duane Eddy, Sandy Nelson, The Tornados, Link Wray and more teen beat, pop and rock favorites from a particularly fertile time for rock n’ roll. Whether they were riffing on classic sounds of the past or blasting off into the outer stratosphere with sounds of space and surf, the instrumentals peppered the charts with themes for the time, owing more to roots than we appreciate. Join the fun on KOWS’ Friday mornings at 9 Pacific on Deeper Roots.
