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.

Covers Show

October 2, 2017 Dave

From the Brill Building to the Delta; from Bakersfield to Woodstock; from Tulsa to Deep Elem. Music on a Friday evening from the deeper wells, all presented to you in the form of covers: some new, some vintage, some traditional. We’ll pair up Tom Waits and Blind Willie Johnson, The Band and JJ Cale, Connee Boswell and VV Brown, and there will also be plenty to cover going back to Gus Cannon, Bradley Kincaid, and The Carter Family. It’s our Friday welcome mat to autumn here on Sonoma County Community Radio.

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.

Talk To Me

July 15, 2017 Dave

Talk is cheap. Talk can walk…if given the chance. With technology in our face each and every moment … it seems that talk has become even cheaper if not more full of falsehoods. From the very top the sewer of hyperbole flows downhill. But I digress. We’ll go from country to R&B, rock to gospel, and back again…with a theme show about ‘talking’. We’ve got Little Willie John, Nancy Wilson, Bob Wills, Bobby Charles, and Doris Day performing and following the talking points on our roots celebration on Sonoma County community radio.

The Document Label

Get your morning cuppa roots sounds with a look at the record label whose catalog is overflowing with some of the most important recordings of the 20th century. From the birth of the blues to the birth of jazz; from the earliest gospel jubilee sounds of the deep South to the the electrifying sacred steel sounds of the late century; from the hillbilly string bands to the hokum sounds of the urban South…it’s all there. Document Records has amassed one of the world’s most revered collections of Americana out there and you can tune into Sonoma County community radio for a sampler of the music that has survived the century’s shift in technology , infiltrated our culture, and influenced performers to this day.

Songs About Cats

June 12, 2017 Dave 1 Comment

Nothing wrong with a little theme fun…and what better way to have it than with a topic that can be heard from in virtually any genre: cats. cool cats, tom cats, go cats, hep-cats, black cats, pussy cats, kitty cats and kittens…all of them are subject to our musical scrutiny in this week’s Deeper Roots show. We’ll hear from the early banjo novelty genius Harry Reser, key meddling Fats Waller, lounge swingers like Bobby Darin, Cy Coleman, and The Blue Hawaiians. And you know there’s also a hint of of black cat and pussy cat jazz and blues from Bo Carter, Bob Brozman, Benny Goodman, and Eddie Lang.

Everly Brothers Tribute

June 3, 2017 Dave

Hits from the 50s and 60s…covers by contemporary artists… original versions … songs from Phil and Don and from the songwriting team that brought them fame: Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. We’ll spend time on all of them…and more…in a special two hour tribute to the brothers who may not have been able to get along but they got along with their fans beginning with 1957’s Bye Bye Love. They lasted as solid pop, country, and rock crossovers well into the mid-1960s and we’re going to celebrate their music featuring performers including Ray Charles, Linda Ronstadt, The Persuasions, Buddy Miller, and a host of others.
