The show is Deeper Roots: A Century of America’s Music and every Friday night we have a fresh new episode produced exclusively for KWTF. It’s a show that explores a weekly topic with stories of the performers and performances that have enriched our culture. The shows might cover a genre one week, a a label or songwriter another week, or maybe particular performer the next. In this week’s two hour journey hosted by Dave Stroud, he takes a ‘theme time-out’ to explore a topic with music from the past century. The theme this week is “Night”…of course. Join Dave as he explores some midnight weeping blues with Barbecue Bob, a celebration of the night time being the right time with Nappy Brown, travels to Memphis in the night from Roy Acuff and Jerry Lee Lewis, some blues in the night with Jimmie Lunceford’s Orchestra, and nights wasted with Freddy Fender…and that’s only a sampling. Join us Friday night as we explore the night…muse that carries us into the morning hours.
