The Year in Pop – 1932

August 5, 2017 Dave

We look back…even though we weren’t there. Our show this week will celebrate the American songbook and popular music in the darkest of times: the year 1932. The clouds were only starting to clear in the heart of the Great Depression and the music was hopeful, sometimes saccharine, and the songwriting talent abundant. The performances were not bad either. The Mills Brothers, Bing Crosby, The Boswell Sisters, Cab Calloway, Mildred Bailey, and many others contributed. Tune in on our morning look at the popular sounds of 1932.

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

July 1, 2017 Dave

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.

420 Music

May 27, 2017 Dave

It’s a topical theme…it’s a medicinal thing…it’s a blend of sounds celebrating vipers and jives from the past century. There is no shortage of material to pull from the well of Americana…whether that be from the 1920s or from the 2010s. We’ll hear mellow sounds from Trixie Smith, Charlie Burse & His Memphis Mudcats, winsome themes from Fountains of Wayne, snark from The Harlem Hamfats, and recent relevance from The Devil Makes Three. While April 20th has passed, the topic is a lively one here in California these days and we’re mostly on friendly terms with the weed…even for those that don’t imbibe. The fact is, we have the freedom to do so if we so choose, right?

Cool Down R&B

March 5, 2017 Dave

Mellow R&B from a broad spectrum of performers who made a mark in the decade or so that preceded rock ‘n roll’s infancy. Indeed, they participated in the birth of the form with a sound that included the vocal quartet, jump and swing, and an incessant beat that could not be ignored. We’ll hear from the ‘feisty females’ of the day: Varetta Dillard, Blue Lu Barker, Big Maybelle, and Bernice Gooden right alongside Buddy Johnson’s Orchestra, the Three Bits of Rhythm, The Cats & the Fiddle, and Luke Jones and the Orchestra. Deeper Roots digs into a collection of tracks, some familiar, some from so deep in the archives that the dust is part of the sound, on another Friday evening of American roots sounds for Sonoma County community radio.

February 4, 2017 Dave

Dreams that flow from a nine-volt heart. Drop on by for a stream of sounds from the past century, illuminated by a one-way flow of connections between songs representing the best in blues (Howlin’ Wolf), gospel (Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Sister O.M. 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.

Late 40s Pop

January 7, 2017 Dave

A brand new show…fresh from the digital bins of Deeper Roots’ archives. We’ve got the songs and the stories once again this week as we take a cruise down the American whitebread pop river, exploring post-war pop. Our focus will be a very narrow window of time where the very best in silk and satin voices mixed freely with Hollywood novelty and nostalgic swing bands. Tune in for Kay Kyser, Dinah Shore, The Harmonicats, Frankie Laine, Vaughn Monroe, and a whole host of others this week on Deeper Roots as we explore a sound that missed the R&B and rock train and would be run over by it at the same time.
