Deeper Hoagy Carmichael

October 3, 2015 Dave

Our show explores the music of the great Hoagy Carmichael, the American songwriter who would pair up with some of the great lyricists of the early century to produce a body of work that, while it generally is written about another time in the south, endures for it’s soft-spoken charm, inventiveness, and sophistication. He worked his way through law school by performing in his own three-piece band but a couple of his early songs, “Riverboat Shuffle” and “Stardust” made it clear that songwriting was the inevitable vocation for this would-be lawyer. Although the Great Depression almost put him back with the bar, it was the song “Stardust” that would convince him that he could make a go of it. And he did. He was a font of music, teaming with Johnny Mercer and numerous other great lyricists to pen songs that maintain a fresh face to this day…and Deeper Roots will have the vintage sounds of Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and The Mills Brothers alongside the contemporary interpretations of Carmichael’s standards including Linda Ronstadt, Norah Jones, and Junior Brown. Join Dave Stroud as he queues up the timeless work of Hoagy Carmichael.

Songs of the Century

August 8, 2015 Dave

The Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) produced a list a few years back that they called the “Songs of The Century”. It was concocted based on a questionable set of sampling and was to represent and “promote a better understanding of America’s musical and cultural heritage.” The voting pool was a strange mixture elected officials, school students and teachers, as well as industry professionals. The respondent pool was about 200. The list is woefully inadequate but certainly worth discussing. Deeper Roots will spend this week exploring the top 30 (of 365) and follow up with its own list in a second episode next week. Listen in as we stretch the imagination.

Connections II

July 25, 2015 Dave

We take another trip down the roots rabbit hole with the usual selections of blues, bluegrass, country, gospel, and tradition in a show that follows a thread that begins with The Del McCoury Band’s bluegrass cover of Mama’s Hungry Eyes and winds its way to conclusion down the endless black ribbon. In between we’ve got kind words and last words, chain gangs and jailers, and songs about bird dogs and mockingbirds. The show is a special ‘stream of musical roots consciousness’ called “Connections”.

Grapes on the Vine

June 14, 2015 Dave

Raising the roof once more on KOWS in West Sonoma County on a bright Saturday morning. And we make it count with an opening salvo of some country swing from Bob Wills, W. Lee O’Daniel, The Light Crust Doughboys, and Willie Nelson. Not to be outdone, we’ve got bluegrass from The Rice Brothers and our own David Thom, gospel from the Hummingbirds, and a special set celebrating the “Poet of the Blues” Percy Mayfield. We’ll also feature blues from Texas and, if we find the time, early century pop from Frank Crumit and Cliff Edwards. Tune in Saturday morning at 9 on KOWS for a dose of roots sounds from the past century of America’s music with Dave Stroud.
