Christmas Special 2015

December 26, 2015 Dave

We’ve got some holiday roots music featuring new and old. Join Dave Stroud for Deeper Roots Radio: A Century of America’s Music for music from the outskirts of R&B, rock, blues, country, and pop. We’ll hear holiday cheer in the form of blues with Leroy Carr, Blind Blake, and Lloyd Glenn; contemporary pieces from Nick Lowe, Raul Malo, and The Boxmasters; confectionary pop from The Andrews Sisters, Eileen Barton, and The Beach Boys; and some of the very best R&B from Ray Charles, Betty Carter, and Amos Milburn. There’s a large helping of country pop and blues including Groovey Joe Poovey & The Big ‘D’ Boys, The Living Sisters, and (of course) Elvis. Two hours of Christmas cheer on a hump day Wednesday evening on the voice of West Sonoma County! You can follow it here: http://www.kows.fm/listen

We’ll be making some waves this week on our Wednesday night foray into the past century of America’s music. We’ll hear new music from the Oxford American Georgia music issue, as well as a good share of early country, some Stephen Foster (by the Hamilton County Ramblers), and some Jelly Roll Morton. There will be a few local performers to sweeten the mix: Kevin Russell, Carl Hendel & Eddie Meisse, and an alumni of Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa…Dan Hicks.

A bit of a celebration is in order. We will be broadcasting live from the new KOWS studios located in downtown Sebastopol with a playlist that scours the last century of America’s music for relevant sounds and themes that relate: songs of settling into home, saying goodbye, moving on, going west (or east, that is), and ‘getting gone’. We’ll feature The Cats & The Fiddle, local favorites Markus James and Doug Blumer & The Bohemian Highway, “Little” Jimmy Dickens, and a host of others who welcome us into our new home on Gravenstein Highway…or, as it is formally known hereabouts, Main Street.

Take Me Back – KOWS Nov 18, 2015

November 19, 2015 Dave

Our final show at the old KOWS studio will feature the lineup you might expect…with a couple of themes running through it. The ‘take me back’ theme works well as we bring in Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jimmy Rushing, and Peter Rowan to make the plea and we’ve got the gospel themed pleas of working on a building from The Highway QCs. In addition, we’ve got some doo-wop, some ladies whose theme was ‘blues is her business’, and a run of country swing and bluegrass…all packed into two hours of elementary roots. Tune in after dinner for dessert.

Songs of A.P. Carter

November 14, 2015 Dave

He grew up with music, learning to plan violin at a young age in Poor Valley, Virginia (now known as Maces Springs), sang in a church choir and helped his uncle, Flanders Bays, who ran a mobile music school in Scott County. He would go on to form one of the seminal country music groups of the day with his wife Sara and her cousin Maybelle. Their musicianship was remarkable but the song-writing was what set them apart, the compositions by A. P. Carter representing a treasury of classic folk, sentimental pop, cowboy songs, gospel favorites, and original love songs. While there may be little doubt as to whether all songs that carried his name were original, his treatment (and that of the Carter Family group) were without peer. Tune in this Friday night for music featuring performers covering A.P. Carter songs, including The Delmore Brothers, Dave Alvin & The Guilty Men, Charlie Louvin, Ashley Monroe, and a host of others.

Let’s Live – KOWS Nov 5, 2015

November 5, 2015 Dave

We’ll be bringing another eclectic blend of music from the past for an evening set kicks off with sounds of New Orleans beginning with a medley from the Bayou Maharajah, James Booker and closing with Irma Thomas. In addition to our usual run of bluegrass, jazz, and blues…we’ll prepare some piping hot biscuits from the country shack with Alan Lomax, Flatt & Scruggs, Pappy O’Daniel and the Hillbilly Boys, and Kacey Musgraves. There will also be a rare piece of early blues piano work from Ollie Shepard and the early century jazz band sounds of Enric Madriguera, Jimmie Lunceford, and Fletcher Henderson. Two full hours of Deeper Roots on weekday evening…carrying us over the midweek hump so that it’s all downhill from there…

Night Time – KOWS Oct 28, 2015

No more alternating Saturday mornings for Deeper Roots. We’re a weekly publication now…every Wednesday evening at 7 Pacific!. We’re going to settle into our new KOWS time-slot tonight with music that celebrates our new day of the week and we’ll also roam east, south, west and north in our pursuit of the best from the last 100 years of American music. Join us right after Robert Feuer’s Blues Up the River for some ‘down river’ sounds including Johnny Horton, Tom Rush, Riley Puckett, and some John Lee Hooker. Because the night time is the right time.
