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.
