Jan. 31, 2024 -- S. F. Sorrow by the Pretty Things on Album of the Week

Wed, 01/31/2024 - 1:43pm | Jess Goddésse

SFSorrow.jpg

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.

KDRT DJ Jim Buchanan typically includes his live recordings of local bands on his Live Tracks show, but tonight (Jan. 25) he also has the pleasure of hosting longtime Sacramento/Davis-based musicians Natalie Cortez and Christopher Cassels live in the studio. Lately, many may have seen them playing as part of the 5-piece Natalie Cortez Band, which plays regularly in Sacramento and Davis (Davis Music Fest, Music for Natalie Corona Benefit concerts, and a 2019 benefit for KDRT to name a few).

Tonight they also talk about playing as a duo in the upcoming "Cozy Concert Series" at Morgan's Mill in Woodland, Friday, Jan. 26, from 7-9 p.m. This new series is organized by Left of the Dial Promotions, and features unique duos from several local 4-to-5 piece bands on the second and fourth Fridays in January and February.
