Friday the 13th finds Deeper Roots wandering into the shadows, where the streets are wet, the bars are closing, and the jukebox has a few secrets of its own. We’re traveling through nearly a century of American music, from Duke Ellington’s mysterious jazz and Peggy Lee’s after-hours blues to the dark Americana of Neko Case, Mark Lanegan, Morphine, and the Black Heart Procession. There are lonely highways, smoky nightclubs, dangerous encounters, and stories that don’t always have happy endings. No Halloween novelties or predictable scares — just extraordinary recordings with a little darkness in their DNA.
