This week’s show will feature another journey celebrating the soundtrack of the past century. From the pounding rhythms of gospel revelations to the neon-lit evening sounds of Basin Street and Nashville, we’ll be sharing the music of George Strait, Etta James, The Temptations, Little Sugar and The Hightower Brothers among over two dozen others…all in an exciting and varietal run of Americana on a Friday morning. It’s where the hidden gems appear and echo each week as we dig deep across decades and genres. Dave’s got iconic tracks and overlooked treasures, classic influences and modern echoes for you in a free form eclectic celebration. So, whether you’re tuning in from a big city street or a quiet back road, settle in, turn it up, and let the music take you there. It’s another week of Deeper Roots on KOWS Community Radio.
