There’s an echo in the well of Americana and it reverberates from tradition and some of the early songsmiths and blues masters who delivered the blues proper through the depths of the past century of America’s music. We’ll be pulling some of the classic blues covers of songs composed by just a small collection of the great blues masters: Charley Patton, Muddy Waters, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson, Blind Blake and beyond in this week’s episode. There is seldom enough time to make a dent in only two hours but we’ll do our best with covers from some of the inheritors like BB King, Carl Perkins, Bob Dylan, Jorma Kaukonen and a couple dozen others. We’re excavating some deeper roots this week and then tilling the airwaves with freshly turned songs of the earth; a landscape of blues cutting a deep swath across the musical landscape of the past 100 years. Celebrating blues and those who brought it home this week on KOWS Community Radio.

Put another nickel in that nickelodeon ‘cause rhythm saved the world. This week on Deeper Roots we’re spinning up songs about the jukebox, hit records, little bitty records, disc jockey pleas, and swinging syncopated rhythms from across the past century. That’s right, we’re taking a trip across ninety years featuring jazz from Jimmie Lunceford, country from the Sons of the Pioneers, gospel from the Chuck Wagon Gang, and swinging send-ups from Louis Armstrong, NRBQ, Slim Gaillard, and The Sensations. Well, you can also count on more from the usual suspects in this week’s thematic celebration of the very best of Americana. Whether that’s reaching out to the jukebox, the DJ or that record hawker…we’ve got two hours of rhythm here on KOWS Community Radio. Spend your time with music, not your hard earned dough on this day of resistance.
