Below the Mason-Dixon Line

November 25, 2017 Dave

Songs that highlight the states below the ‘line’ of intransigence. Portions are better known as Dixie, others (like Florida and Texas) appear as appendages or after-market expanses. The music this evening will explore songs of Louisiana from Doug Kershaw, Texas from Asleep at the Wheel, Alabama from Mance Lipscomb, and West Virginia featuring Louis Jordan. There’s a whole lot more including Taj Mahal, Bill Kirchen, The Louvin Brothers and Pokey LaFarge; all on a journey through a collection of states that two surveyors by the name of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, in an attempt to resolve a dispute, attached their names to in the late 18th century.

The Hangman’s Rope

November 18, 2017 Dave

Songs about one of the most controversial of mankind’s attempt to balance the scales: the death penalty. Studies point to the fact that at least one in 25 people sentenced to the death penalty in the U.S. are innocent and yet the death penalty is legal in 32 states. In China, corporate fraud can be punishable by death…if it were the case here, our government would probably be on the straight and narrow. But I digress. The music this week will explore the long walk to eternity through the eyes of the condemned; the knowledge of the eventuality of the executioner’s song is clarity. And we’ve got country from a whole host of obscure characters, some blues and boogie, along with just a little bit of folk and bluegrass. A hundred years of the hangman’s rope in reflection.

High Water Everywhere

August 19, 2017 Dave

And the topic of this episode will be natural disasters. Namely…floods. Timeless events and timeless music. Dave Stroud will share in-depth blues about rising waters, country music about the terror brought to us by Mother Nature, featuring Dave Alvin, James McMurtry, Whispering Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bessie Smith, and Lonnie Johnson…to mention but a few. Our show will focus on music that tells a story, because that’s what we find best in the tradition of Americana roots.

That High Lonesome Sound

May 13, 2017 Dave

There can be no room for more rain here in Sonoma County. Spring is here and summer’s only a festival away….so we’ll celebrate the warmer side of Spring with an exploration of the bluegrass sounds of Bill Monroe and others, all tunes being selected for their ability to express what became to be known as that ‘high lonesome sound’. Included in the mix will be Del McCoury, Jimmy Martin, Peter Rowan, Ralph Stanley, and a many others on a night that celebrates that ‘voice from on high’ and discourages the direction down that ‘wicked path of sin’. All for you on Sonoma County Community Radio.

Nostalgia sometimes sounds like a bad cold or some obscure disease. Well…the latter is certainly not so far from the mark. We’re going to bring some country performers into our playlist this evening to share memories of the old home, faded memories and faded loves. We’ll hear from The Dillards, Hazel Dickens, Jack Guthrie, Rodney Crowell, Bobby Bare, and many others in our theme of ‘Country Memories’ this week.

Beer Thirty

March 11, 2017 Dave

One of the more popular topics that follows the Americana and roots landscape (aside from love, death, and the gospel) is the topic of ice cold beer. Beer in the morning, beer in the evening, beer at suppertime. And our show this week is a sampler of 30 plus tracks of (mostly) country, rockabilly, rock, some blues, and we’ll be including some vintage television commercials that celebrate the suds. So kick back with a cold one and tune that dial to Deeper Roots on KWTF with your host Dave Stroud this Friday evening at 9 Pacific as he steps up to the bar and shares a wild assortment of songs about a cold brew or two…and we’re not talkin’ boojie coffee.
