Drive In Music

Drive In Music

Memories of summer nights where the aroma of popcorn, car exhaust and nature fused as the car windows steamed up and the tin can speaker sounds synchronized with the silver screen…at the drive in movie. For the decades of the fifties, sixties, and seventies you could bring a car load of friends and find your spot across the little hills that pointed you skyward towards the glow of a billboard of dreams. This week on Deeper Roots we’ll visit some performances that include on-screen legends as well as legends that tried to make music outside of their lane. Some that we’ll hear from succeeded and some…well…went back to their day job. Tune in for music from Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis, Jack Webb, Marilyn Monroe, and a couple dozen others on a fun little romp on another Friday episode of Deeper Roots on KOWS 92.5 FM.
