High Water Everywhere

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

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’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

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.

Clouds & Silver Linings

Clouds & Silver Linings
Clouds & Silver Linings

The past few months have been brutal for democracy. There is no silver lining in sight but this week’s music will nonetheless feature some songs of hope: our theme is one of clouds and silver linings. It’s meant to give a two hour break (if that’s at all possible) to the malevolent stewing cauldron that is brewing in the most sacred halls of our democracy. We’ll discard with the political music this week and simply ride a topical wave featuring a blend of jazz, country, gospel, rock, and pop. Tune in for music from Van Morrison, The Sons of the Pioneers, George Gershwin, Dave Van Ronk, and Pops Staples…to name but a few…this week on Sonoma County community radio.

Rockabilly Road

Rockabilly Road
Rockabilly Road

It’s time once again to visit the wild side of rock n’ roll…unrestrained and unforgiving…and often out of tune. But that didn’t matter since it was the emotion and the sweat that filled the production gaps. A progenitor of punk, rockabilly music got its roots from hillbilly, country swing, and R&B. And it certainly owes a lot to Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis Presley. Our show this week will cover the known and the unknown. We’ll hear tracks from the Sun stable but we’ll also dig into the digital dust bins of the Imperial, Capitol, and Decca labels for vintage examples and a few rockabilly modernists will be on hand. So get your cat clothes on and get ready for a raucous evening in West County on community radio.
