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.

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.

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.

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?

Music from Kermit Ruffins, The Sweet Olive String Band, Aaron Neville, Steve Riley, The Rebirth Brass Band, Dr. John, and an eclectic collection that you’ll just have to wait to be surprised by.

Oxford American Music Issue – Visions of the Blues
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.

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.

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.

To say that the year 2016 was a bummer year is an understatement. While entertainment would take a backseat to the social and political conflagrations of the year, it was a very tough year for music lovers, nonetheless. Deeper Roots will be sharing tracks from some of the great, both known and unknown, who left us. We’ll hear from both Prince as well as Dan Hicks; Natalie Cole and Lonnie Mack; Juan Gabriel and Paul Kantner. It does not end there and we’ll barely be able to cover them all. Tune into our last show of the year and help us remember what these performers brought us.

Rock Steady 1971: Celebrating Starbucks 35th Anniversary
Deeper Roots celebrates the Holidays! Dave Stroud digs deeper yet into those dusty digital bins to find contemporary and vintage music of the holidays. In addition to some selections from the Document Records “Blues Blues Christmas” releases, we’ll surface some newer sounds including Americana nuggets from David Myles, Kacey Musgraves, and Raul Malo. To fill out the vintage, you’ll be entertained by Kay Starr, Elvis, Asleep At The Wheel, and the Prairie Ramblers.
