We’ll also bring up the topics of Civilization with Louis Prima, Old Fashioned Love with The Mills Brothers, and Emmett Miller will delight the crowds with his jelly roll song. It’s R&B, blues, country, jazz and rock on a Wednesday evening in West County.

Terrell), jazz (Nina Simone and Louis Armstrong), country (Guy Clark and The Louvins), contemporary Americana (The Devil Makes Three and Jefferson Ross), and so much more. Songs about trouble, bad roads and bad moons, little birds, coffee, and hidden charms…all for you on Sonoma County community radio.

Blues, Country, Deeper Roots on KOWS, Folk and Tradition, Theme Time

Go West!

December 10, 2016 Dave

The westward movement is celebrated once more as Deeper Roots spends two hours digging through those dusty digital bins to find the more popular and, in some cases, more obscure pieces about the one of the great migrations. In addition to the 19th century land-grab where the call was “Westward Ho!”, we’ll hear songs about the not-so-celebratory movement following the 20th century Dust Bowl migration. Tune in for blues from Lowell Fulson, Barbecue Bob, and Albert King; country from Merle Haggard, Asleep at the Wheel, and John Hartford; tradition and folk from Woody Guthrie, Darryl Holter, and Jay Farrar; and jazz/pop from Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, and Sol Hoopii. All on community radio for Sonoma County.

Blues, Country, Deeper Roots on KOWS, Early Pop, Free Form

Free Form – November 2016

December 3, 2016 Dave

While the show this week is free form (something we like to do every few weeks), we’ll be leaning on a number of ‘connections’ including a couple of sets that feature tracks from the 1950 classic country album “Beyond The Sunset” which was released by Luke The Drifter aka Hank Williams, Sr. We’ll hear interpretations and originals that keep the focus on the country gospel solemnities that made this album one of country’s most interesting albums of the time. We’ll also be rocking with The Prisonaires, Aretha Franklin; riding down the canyon with Gene Autry and Jonathan Edwards; and connecting with boot kicking pieces from Robert Gordon and Elvis. An interesting and fun two hours is in store for you on West County community radio. Join Dave Stroud for selections from the last 100 years.

Sugar Sugar

November 26, 2016 Dave

We’ve got a theme show for you tonight: the last century of America’s music with a focus on candy, cake, pie, and cola…all with that magic (deadly?) insidious ingredient that lures us to it’s flavor. A sure example of a muse if there ever was one. Tune for the sounds of Bill Haley, Al Hirt, Duke Ellington, Elvis, and the Collins Kids (among others). It’s folk, blues, R&B, country, pop, and rock…all in good sweet fun on KWTF radio.

We reflect on Columbus Day…that day of the year that something and nothing are both celebrated. While it may be another one of those “Flag Days”, it’s a day that we’ll set aside a set for in the most appropriate way. We’ll hear the “Ballad of Ira Hayes”, music from Robbie Robertson, and Maxine Sullivan in the set which is one of free form this week on Deeper Roots. A set about sin, a set about the glorious two-day event known as the weekend, ballads, bop, and and opening sweat bomb by Joyce Harris and the Daylighters. Sonoma County community radio it is…

Hot Summer Days

August 20, 2016 Dave

As we make it over the summer hump, we’ll take time to celebrate all the things we love about the summer heat. Those stunning summer skies, sea breezes, backyard barbecues, and the lift of a summer rain. We’ve got the beach sounds of the sixties, Hawaiian medleys from the islands, sophisticated sass from Buster Poindexter, hot kissin’ from H-Bomb Ferguson, the summer rain, the summer sky, and the Summer Wind from Frank Sinatra. Rock, zydeco, country, pop, bluegrass, rock, and so much of what comes from the in-between this week on Deeper Roots.

Time is Passing

August 13, 2016 Dave

Theme time this week! We are going to dip into a sometimes raucous, other times wistful, blend of country, blues, jazz, and what-not…to celebrate (or is it bemoan) the passing of time in our show this week. The clock is ticking, the calendar flipping, and the little blue orb keeps spinning around that big bright one. And all the while we live our lives celebrating the luminous sounds on Deeper Roots; this week featuring Johnny Otis, Fenton Robinson, Bob Dylan, Texas Jim Lewis, Roy Acuff, and so many others. Time may be passing and we may like to reminisce and wax nostalgic, but we press on…driven by music from the past century (among other things).

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!

July 23, 2016 Dave

Songs from the past century will fill the air with second hand music smoke…all songs that reflect either the hawkish or ‘dove-ish’ opinions in words and music. We have two hours of country, jazz, blues, pop, and all those adventurous styles in between that use nicotine for their muse. Country from k.d. lang to The Sons of The Pioneers, R&B from the likes of Lucky Millender to Benny Spellman, some doo-wop, some Sam Cooke soul, and a little bit of sweet big band sounds from Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians. Maybe we won’t celebrate the habit…just the music.

No.
