Filmmakers Glenda and Jesse Drew of Davis made Open Country, a journey into the roots of American country, to reclaim the music as the creative expression of working people of all colors. The movie features interviews with well-known musicians, performances, archival clips and animation, and it sold out the venue when it recently screened in San Francisco.

The Drews will screen their movie in Davis Sunday, March 10, at the Odd Fellows Hall, doors 6 p.m.; show 6:30 p.m.; Q&A 8:15 p.m. All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will benefit KDRT. We hope to see you there! Tickets available online here. Keep reading to learn more:

Dug Deep hosts Album of the Week and he'll be spinning the British psych classic, S. F. Sorrow, by The Pretty Things. It's noted for being the first "concept record," having been conceived of and recorded in 1967-68 and released in 1968, well before the Who's Tommy. No comparison between the two pieces, really, but I'm gonna guess you haven't heard S. F. Sorrow much. Hope you can tune in and join us on Wednesday afternoon.
