We explore 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. 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.
