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.

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.

To quote one blogger: “[Leon Russell] was one of the most adept and prolific session men of the 1960s rock scene, playing on more records and [alongside] more artists than many people could name, and his abilities and multi-instrumental proficiency would make him an unstoppable force when he debuted as an artist in his own right in the early seventies.” Summed up perfectly. And Deeper Roots will pay tribute to Leon with a look at his music, his songwriting prowess, the arc of his career, and the performances that made him that ‘unstoppable force’. We’ll hear from Joe Cocker, The Carpenters, George Benson, and (of course) Leon himself in a hastily gathered, but oh so sublime, show that honors an artist who we lost this past weekend. Tune into (and support) Sonoma County community radio.

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.

It’s a two hour Robert Johnson tribute on Deeper Roots Radio: A Century of America’s Music. Legend has it…yes, we have all heard the story. But it is the music that makes us want to believe. In a short recording career where he recorded less than thirty tracks over two sessions, the songs are all his by identification. When you hear the Stones’ cover of “You Got to Move”, or virtually any that Johnson recorded…you overlook their lineage somewhat because their heritage began in the hotel room where he recorded them. We’ll hear from Rory Block, Robert Lockwood, Jr., Nigel Watson & Peter Green, and Bob Brozman as Deeper Roots celebrates the music of Robert Johnson.
Our weekly show celebrates (albeit somewhat belatedly) Bob Dylan’s 75th birthday by tipping our caps not with his performances but with a collection of by others’ tribute pieces. We’ll hear songs written by Bob through the years and tell you the history of many of them at the same time. Tracks from Bobby Bare, Mavis Staples, Solomon Burke, Hazel Dickens, and Bill Frisell make this an eclectic journey on a Friday evening in Sonoma County. Be sure to tune in!

We’ll also wrap it up with a festive foodie theme.

From Western Swing to R-O-C-K (4): Don't Knock the Rock
West County has seen it’s first consistent (and consecutive) days of rain and boy did we need it. El Nino looks to be making some waves. We’ll be making some waves this week on our Wednesday night foray into the past century of America’s music. We’ll hear new music from the Oxford American Georgia music issue, as well as a good share of early country, some Stephen Foster (by the Hamilton County Ramblers), and some Jelly Roll Morton. There will be a few local performers to sweeten the mix: Kevin Russell, Carl Hendel & Eddie Meisse, and an alumni of Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa…Dan Hicks. Tune in for music that keeps on giving.

The early fifties brought the dawn of a musical form that became popular with a younger crowd although it was simply a version of a vocal harmony form born in the early century, if not long before. The street corner harmonies were a big hit as this new form of rhythm called ‘doo-wop’ saturated the top 40 R&B (and mainstream) airwaves. But the influences themselves had huge followings. We’ll hear from some of the early gospel inspirations like the Heavenly Gospel Singers as well as the vocal groups who were dominant in the form’s lineage: The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, and The Ravens. We’ll also hear from the groups who introduced ‘doo wop’ as we know it in the early fifties.

Last week’s show paid tribute to the great country guitarists…so why not spend a couple of hours with the blues greats. We’ll cover a good number of the well knowns like Buddy Guy, Elmore James, and the three ‘kings’…B.B., Freddie, and Albert as well as the second tier innovators like Guitar Slim, J. B. Lenoir, Magic Sam, and Mighty Joe Young. It’s a big helping of blues, some soul-laden clips, and big, screaming rhythm…coming your way on KWTF every Friday night on Deeper Roots: A Century of America’s Music.
