Backbeat rolls along this week with not one but two Hank Williams songs, Kay Starr shows her impressive jazzy chops, some great pickin' from Brandon Isaak, Harry Manx and Arthur Smith, Little Walter wails, Solomon Burke covers a Bob Dylan song and we'll hear from a 1950s singer who could have been a major star, but didn't really want it. Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.
