Women of 60s Southern Soul

Their songs are iconic and their voices, unforgettable. From the deep south and southeast, from the church choirs to the small urban clubs, there were only a handful of female soul vocalists who hit it big with crossover chart sounds.  But there were so many more whose voices did not find the venue or the right producer or label to take them to the next level. They were mostly unknown but in our show this week, we’ll try to share examples of what might have been. We’ll hear from Veda Brown, Carla Thomas, Ruby Johnson, and the great Judy Clay on a show full of upbeat and backbeat soul, brass, Stax, and Volt. Discover those female soul sounds that continue to inspire and influence…here on Deeper Roots on a Friday morning in West County.

Naughty Blues

For goodness sake! We’re going to toss aside our puritan ethics (what ethics, you ask) and look towards the sideways glances and double entendres for our inspiration this week on Deeper Roots. Songs about Sam The Hot Dog Man, keyholes, sugar bowls, poodles, jockeys, and lemons…all subjects that find their way in and around the blues in an auspiciously direct route to the heart of the matter. We’ve got the naughty blues today…songs that will encourage a blush or two…or three. We’ve got The Swallows, Lil’ Johnson, Emma Barrett, Tampa Red, and a host of other blues greats on a Sonoma County spring morning. Be sure to tune in and find your own blush point…

Rockin’ Rhythm & Gospel

We gravitate towards gospel because it’s roots are so entwined with virtually every form of music we feature on Deeper Roots; so we’ll revisit the sound once more. However, in this episode we’ll focus on the rock and rhythm inspiration…gospel performances that were more worldliness than holiness. Jesus Rocked The Jukebox is the name of an album that we’ve leaned on in this episode and expanded from there with examples of over-the-top performances in the key of the sacred but with the pounding rhythmic syncopation of the secular. Join Dave Stroud as he pulls out the stop with the likes of The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Detroiters, The Highway QCs, Fannie Bell Chapman, and a host of others. Breathtaking gospel for a Friday evening in Sonoma County.

Bad Luck Blues

We’re exploring the blues this week on Deeper Roots. And it’s all about bad luck blues…when the dice roll snake eyes, when the crops won’t make the rent, when your woman asks for money and all you got is the dust in your pockets…when you ain’t got no money.  Join Dave Stroud for a collection of the very best including Big Joe Williams’ Jinx Blues, bad luck stories from Dinah Washington and Memphis Minnie, piano moaning from Leroy Carr and Ivory Joe, as well as further tales of gambling, dice, and no luck from Clifford Gibson and Black Boy Shine. Friday evening blues….what more?

Rhythm & Blues & Soul

….’Cause it’s gotta have soul, rhythm, and blues to make the cut this week. That’s the answer to the question. We’ll look to a couple of iconic comedians from the late 70s to inspire us with a collection of sounds lifted from their albums…and their movies. Why not? Jake and Elwood teamed up with Stax legends Steve Cropper, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and Duck Dunn to deliver punch after punch and we’re going to sample the best of it. We’ve got Willie Mabon, King Floyd, Johnnie Taylor, Big Joe, The Robins, The Soul Survivors, and (of course) Aretha…all for you in a two hour rhythm & blues & soul extravaganza this week on Deeper Roots.

Beer Thirty

One of the more popular topics that follows the Americana and roots landscape (aside from love, death, and the gospel) is the topic of ice cold beer. Beer in the morning, beer in the evening, beer at suppertime. And our show this week is a sampler of 30 plus tracks of (mostly) country, rockabilly, rock, some blues, and we’ll be including some vintage television commercials that celebrate the suds. So kick back with a cold one and tune that dial to Deeper Roots on KWTF with your host Dave Stroud this Friday evening at 9 Pacific as he steps up to the bar and shares a wild assortment of songs about a cold brew or two…and we’re not talkin’ boojie coffee.
