Roots of Doo Wop

December 12, 2015 Dave

The early fifties brought the dawn of a musical form that became popular with a younger crowd although it was simply a version of a vocal harmony form born in the early century, if not long before. The street corner harmonies were a big hit as this new form of rhythm called ‘doo-wop’ saturated the top 40 R&B (and mainstream) airwaves. But the influences themselves had huge followings. We’ll hear from some of the early gospel inspirations like the Heavenly Gospel Singers as well as the vocal groups who were dominant in the form’s lineage: The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, and The Ravens. We’ll also hear from the groups who introduced ‘doo wop’ as we know it in the early fifties.

Soothe Me – KOWS 12/9/15

December 10, 2015 Dave

In this episode, Deeper Roots will feature a wide range of sounds from a host of performers. There will be the topical sounds of courtroom drama featuring R&B from Johnny Otis, classic country Ernest Tubb, and country blues from Carl Martin. We’ll also feature a set that looks at “My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It” from a cross-section of talents and genres…and we’ll be soothed with some deep gospel, folk, and soul. Dave will also share a new track from singer/songwriter Steve Forbert’s latest album “Compromised” as well as some contemporary tracks from Marty Stuart, Jorma Kaukonen, and Joe Ely.

Blues Guitar Shuffle

December 5, 2015 Dave

Last week’s show paid tribute to the great country guitarists…so why not spend a couple of hours with the blues greats. We’ll cover a good number of the well knowns like Buddy Guy, Elmore James, and the three ‘kings’…B.B., Freddie, and Albert as well as the second tier innovators like Guitar Slim, J. B. Lenoir, Magic Sam, and Mighty Joe Young. It’s a big helping of blues, some soul-laden clips, and big, screaming rhythm…coming your way on KWTF every Friday night on Deeper Roots: A Century of America’s Music.

Main Street – KOWS December 2, 2015

December 3, 2015 Dave

A bit of a celebration is in order. We will be broadcasting live from the new KOWS studios located in downtown Sebastopol with a playlist that scours the last century of America’s music for relevant sounds and themes that relate: songs of settling into home, saying goodbye, moving on, going west (or east, that is), and ‘getting gone’. We’ll feature The Cats & The Fiddle, local favorites Markus James and Doug Blumer & The Bohemian Highway, “Little” Jimmy Dickens, and a host of others who welcome us into our new home on Gravenstein Highway…or, as it is formally known hereabouts, Main Street.

Deeper Dr. John

November 27, 2015 Dave

Mac Rebennack’s been around and the music, the culture, the people…they’ve embellished his art with a character like no other in roots music. He’s known them all: James Booker, Professor Longhair, Huey Smith, and Doc Pomus. He’s performed with them, composed for them, and broken bread with them. And when he takes the stage, whether that is in the traditional Indian celebratory garb or the frocked coat and hat, you can be certain that his performance will get your attention. He is coarse yet gentle, as punctual on the keys as he is laid back and lazy with them. This week’s show will sample a small set of his contributions to the American songbook including performances by Roland Stone, B.B. King, Charlie Rich, Solomon Burke, and Irma Thomas. And we’ll also hear plenty from the good Doctor himself.

Take Me Back – KOWS Nov 18, 2015

November 19, 2015 Dave

Our final show at the old KOWS studio will feature the lineup you might expect…with a couple of themes running through it. The ‘take me back’ theme works well as we bring in Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jimmy Rushing, and Peter Rowan to make the plea and we’ve got the gospel themed pleas of working on a building from The Highway QCs. In addition, we’ve got some doo-wop, some ladies whose theme was ‘blues is her business’, and a run of country swing and bluegrass…all packed into two hours of elementary roots. Tune in after dinner for dessert.

November 5, 2015 Dave

We’ll be bringing another eclectic blend of music from the past for an evening set kicks off with sounds of New Orleans beginning with a medley from the Bayou Maharajah, James Booker and closing with Irma Thomas. In addition to our usual run of bluegrass, jazz, and blues…we’ll prepare some piping hot biscuits from the country shack with Alan Lomax, Flatt & Scruggs, Pappy O’Daniel and the Hillbilly Boys, and Kacey Musgraves. There will also be a rare piece of early blues piano work from Ollie Shepard and the early century jazz band sounds of Enric Madriguera, Jimmie Lunceford, and Fletcher Henderson. Two full hours of Deeper Roots on weekday evening…carrying us over the midweek hump so that it’s all downhill from there…

No more alternating Saturday mornings for Deeper Roots. We’re a weekly publication now…every Wednesday evening at 7 Pacific!. We’re going to settle into our new KOWS time-slot tonight with music that celebrates our new day of the week and we’ll also roam east, south, west and north in our pursuit of the best from the last 100 years of American music. Join us right after Robert Feuer’s Blues Up the River for some ‘down river’ sounds including Johnny Horton, Tom Rush, Riley Puckett, and some John Lee Hooker. Because the night time is the right time.

Songs of the Dust Bowl

October 25, 2015 Dave

Our story is one that we’ve covered before, previously focusing on the Great Depression and the music of Woody Guthrie. This episode pulls in the theme of that tragic chapter of a drought that uprooted nearly 60 percent of the population from the affected region of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. With the soil lacking a firm root due to poor farm practices, the plains winds would pick up the loose topsoil and create the dust clouds that ravaged farm and city alike. The music we’ll hear tonight brings us the stories, including those of Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Gibson, Lane Hardin, Vernon Dahlart, and The Morrison Two Brothers String Band.

In The Gloaming – KOWS Oct 24, 2015

October 24, 2015 Dave

Our Saturday morning show opens with some caffeine-driven music…literally… songs about the magic bean, that morning beverage that starts the day for some of us. We’ve got swamp pop from Randy & The Rockets, some jumpin’ jive from Cab Calloway, twilight reflections from Jonatha Brooke and The Sons of The Pioneers, and some Chet Atkins, David Lindley, and Eilen Jewell. KOWS community radio studios will be moving before the end of the year to a very central West County location that will bring us in closer contact with our listeners…and our Deeper Roots. And some exciting news! Deeper Roots moves to weekly broadcasts on KOWS.
